please consult neurosurgeon/neurologist soon
you need a thorough clinical examination and a ct scan of brain to rule out any haematoma
hope you be all right soon

Hello, Welcome to Healthcaremagic!
It seems that due to fall, you suffered from some type of intracranial bleeding. Was there a loss of consciousness or an attack of fit? Many a times the blood clots becomes organized & cause a number of symptoms (known as chronic extradural or subdural haematomas). You should consult a neurosurgeon for a CT SCAN & proper treatment ASAP.
