That's an emergency condition.

You should head to an ER for a film and evaluation. Do not pass go. Do not collect two hundred dollars. There are two issues: (1) the reason for the dizziness and fall and (2) whether or not there is damage to the cervical vertebra. Often a bump on the head will cause the brain to swell and there is only a small window of time with which to provide medication to stop the swelling. Swelling impinges on blood supply and can result in necrosis of brain tissue. Sudden flexure of the head often results in life-long pain starting months later if not addressed in a timely manner.
