Hi.

Any head injuries that result in symptoms like loss of consciousness, nausea, vomiting, bleeding from any orifices, blurred vision, disorientation, nystagmus, headaches, drowsiness, etc; should be reported to a doctor at the earliest. So yes, I would recommend a visit to the doctor.

Best wishes.
