What Causes Constant Dull Headache After A Fall?

Thank you. I fell while playing hockey. I landed on my back and my head snapped back. I had a good hockey helmet on. I did not get knocked out. I was able to answer questions correctly when asked by my teammates. I rest on the bench for a few minutes. Returned to the game for about a minute and then left the game and did not return . I showered and came home. this was last night. I have had just a dull aching headache. Pretty mild actually. Any thoughts? Thank you
