Need to be evaluated: Hitting your head with resultant headache and sensitivity to light could indicate meningeal irritation (the meninges are the Saran wrap-like covering of the brain). The irritation in your case could be due to bleeding within the skull and could present with headache and eye sensitivity to light. Given the head trauma and your symptoms, you should be seen in person for exam and imaging.
