pressure at side of my head.

aout six months ago I fell and knocked the side of my head hard on a rock.  For about 1 week after that I had a real tight sort of feeling like a lacky band was around my head, (just above my ear on the left side of my head) This Pressure still comes and goes, and stays there for days., and I am wondering if there could be a problem, should I seek medical advice?

Sounds to me like you might have a slight concussion. The fact that you haven't died yet is a good sign, but please see a doctor about it if you haven't yet.
