Well nausea, dizziness and pressure in the head after hitting the head can happen in some cases. It will be better that your get it checked out in Emergency department for complete neurological exam and mostly a CT Scan of the brain. There are two possibilities either your brain has suffered some amount of injury following which there is some amount of swelling, which can be treated by medication, or there might be a some amount of bleeding inside of brain which is causing pressure. to confirm you have to undergo CT brain.
