Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
All your symptoms are definitely not normal. The swelling & rash could due to an allergic reaction to any insect bite or sting during your sleep.
Try an antihistamine preparation for 2-3 days and if its not improving or is worsening , then immediately consult your family physician for further workup and management.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
