Well, it worries me that you could have sustained some damage since you may have had a seizure and I don't know what the black and white flashes are exactly. You still may want to check it out to make sure you didn't get a concusion or other damage. If you have any more fainting, seizures, headaches, vision problems you must go in ok?

Hi and sorry about your incident. It sounds like you fainted at first due to the finger trauma but when you hit your head you may have had a seizure. Do you have any more visual problems or seizures since then? I would still have them maybe do a EEG (to check for seizures) or a CT to check for damage to the brain. If those are normal then you probably are ok.
