Hello,
I have studied your case. I think you have concussion injury, In this type of head injury there is hitting by blunt object which can cause transient blackout, forget fullness or giddiness. Some time there is radiating pain as well.I would suggest you to keep a watch on these symptoms. There is no need to rush to doctors. If there is vomiting, unconsciousness or loss of balance than these are dangerous sign and than you need to visit doctor.
I hope this answers will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
