Hello ,Welcomt to HCM
Let me tryand help you
1.stroke is suden and fleeting loss of blood supply to a body part( eg brain stroke-paralysis,eye stroke-loss of vision).the recovery fron this may be variable: milder cases recover completely and so on.
2.your description sounds like an attack of sinusitis/insect bite which has caused some swelling ,hence indentation and pain.
3.aspirin can work as a painkiller too so don’t worry . continue on a milder painkiller to reduce pain
4. do plain steam inhalation for 5 min at a time 2 times a day for a few days .
5.keep a lookout for blurred vision&get blood pressue checked
6.it would help if I knew if you have a heart condition/family history of stroke
happy to help.
