Sensitivity to light, juxtaposed with headaches and speech difficulties are hallmarks of a slow bleed within the brain. While this may not be the case, it should be immediately ruled out.

You require an MRA, with dye contrast, as of yesterday, as well as a blood work-up to include a ptt. An MRI is not sufficient, nor is an x-ray or CT.

Do not allow a physician to set you up with an appointment "in a few weeks".

You require an evaluation ASAP (as soon a possible).
