Yes Angie, as moo and Razy have advised, go to A&E tomorrow to be checked out. You might have caused a small bleed or a haematoma so, although the waiting times in A&E can be a pain, you need to know without delay that your brain hasn't been seriously damaged.

Best wishes x

Most definitely, go to A&E as soon as possible. I was pushed over in 2014 and woke up in bed in hospital 16 hours later. I was kept in hospital for 11 days. Take care .
