A few days ago i hit the back of my head(sort of the bottom of my skull)on an edge of a desk while trying to sit down on a stool on the floor. risks?

Likely benign: Closed head injuries are very common. If you were not knocked unconscious, and had no subsequent severe headaches, dizziness, blurring or doubling of vision, or nausea and vomiting, it is extremely likely that there will be no lasting consequences.
