I fell down my stairs (hardwood) a few days ago and hit my head hard and my back. i still have severe headaches. should i be seen by a doctor?

Um, yes...soon: We all fall down sometimes. BUT, when it is down a distance, and you aren't getting right back up (=still have headache) then is a clue should get examined. Dr may want to do CT or MRI to check brain, or exam alone might give answer. Tylenol (acetaminophen) may help in meanwhile.
