What could be the reason for strain after a fall?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have been a smoker my entire life and am a 64-year-old male. I have only ever suffered one health issue, which was caused by a vacation fall that left the left side of my face numb. I decided against going to the hospital because it eventually went away on its own after a few days. The strain on my left side of the head and neck, however, has been increasing over the past five years and has been creating blurry vision for the past three months. A CT scan of my brain was performed by the doctor I saw around six months ago when my vertigo became so severe that I had to go to the emergency room. I am paying because my Medicare would not start until next year. The pressure is getting so bad that I am unsure what to do. Please let me know if you have any information about this mass or if it corresponds to my symptoms.

Thank you.
