Head injury: If there was obvious bleeding this is reassuring. Since you were unconscious, I would head to your doctor's for an exam and to provide you with a plan.

Recommendations: 1. If copious bleeding, did you sustain a laceration which could be treated with a suture or 2? 2. If fainting is repetitive, need to have doctor evaluate what is occurring. 3. Likely post-traumatic headache, but could have this assessed concurrently
