Q: Sharp pain in head

I fell two days ago and hit the back of my head. I had a really bad bad headache in the middle of the night and took Aleve. Since then, I have been fine except for mild pressure and sharp pains where I sustained the hit. Are the sharp pains normal, as well as, the pressure? Should I check myself or do I not have to worry.

I think it's a good practice to be safe rather than sorry, especially when dealing with something as potentially dangerous as a head injury. I recommend that you see a doctor.
