Default Bumped back of head on dresser..been 72 hours?

Long story short....I fainted on Thursday night and hit the back of my head into one of our tall dressers. My husband doesnt remember how hard I hit my head but he doesnt think it was hard enough. I didn't vomit, didn't lose consciousness, no blurry vision. I got up, went into bed & just had a headache but that was expexted. Called off from work the next day to rest & to take it easy. Went to the walk in urgent care on Saturday morning and she said it appears I have suffered some mile trauma & prescribed 800mg of ibuprofen which actually works well. If the pressure in my head/headaches still continue I'll gonna see a specialist towards the end of the week.

Question - Since 72 hours has passed, am I no longer in the danger zone? ie brain swelling, etc? How long would these pressure headaches last for?
