Brief Answer:
Possibly concussion, or blood pressure changes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Exists a small possibility that headache and feeling nauseous after a fall even if you didn't hit the head to be related to concussion due to brain sharp movements inside the skull

At your age, blood pressure changes also could be the culprit for such symptoms.

In both cases, an evaluation by your primary care Doctor is the first step to understand better your condition.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care.
