Brief Answer:
Might be dental infection or sinusitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
It is difficult to comment without examination. It will be better of you can upload the pictures.
Based on the information, it might be due to dental infection or might be due to upper respiratory tract infection ( sinusitis).
Do you have dental problem?
Did you suffer from upper respiratory tract infection recently?
Presently I would suggest you to do steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil 3 to 4 times a day for 3 days. Warm salt water gargling 3 to 4 times day. I would suggest you to drink plenty of water especially warm water.
Take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen ( 500 mg twice daily) or ibuprofen (400 mg twice daily) for 3 days.
If the symptoms persist after 3 days or worsens, I would suggest you to see ENT specialist.
This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.
Hope this helps.
Take care.

It turns out i had some kind of attack or something. The swelling under my right eye developed into a black eye. I found a large cut on my chin, dried blood under my beard. i have a huge deep bruise on my left arm just below the shoulder. i remember being awake about 1 am. I was fine. Went back to sleep, woke up at 5am beat up, dizzy, nauseous. nothing in the apt was disturbed like i tripped or anything. What could possibly cause a memory lapse and damage like that? I only take medication for a heart attack of March 2014 and smoke pot. Nothing that would cause it. If i was just sleepwalking wouldnt i have woken up? from the bruise on my arm and the black eye i hit something pretty hard a couple times.
Brief Answer:
Detailed examination is required.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
Had you smoked a pot that day, if so, under its influence you might have fallen on some blunt object, that might be responsible for your symptoms. Under the influence of this substances, one can forget some of the incidences.
Since you are medications for previous heart attack, you might bleed a little extra than people who are not on similar medications. Perhaps the swelling and other features are secondary to your medications. However it is important to understand and determine what triggered this attack.
It is difficult to comment, without examining you. I would suggest you to see local doctor for detailed examination of your injury. Based on that management can be decided.
If you have pain, you can take the medicines mentioned in the previous post.
