How hard did u hit?: We used to think that post concussive syndrome only happened when you whacked yourself unconscious. Now we know that it can happen after seemingly minor head traumas. Any new-onset headaches, especially associated with recent trauma, need to be worked up by your doc.

See doctor: Several possibilities from subdural to neck spine injury etc need to be considered.
