I understand your concern. Regarding to your symptoms it seems like you are having contusion. My suggestion is to visit your GP to make proper examination to exclude bleeding in your brain. Until than avoid any kind of excercice. And avoid your gym for teo weeks.
If your symptoms progress than visit ER as soon as possibe.

I hope this answer was helpful to you.
