What Causes Sinus Pressure, Tiredness, Puffy Eyes After An Injury?

Tripped and hit head today with a lot of force. Huge cut on nose and swelling around eye. Feel extreme sleepiness with feeling tight pressure around eye, nose and forehead. Been trying to keep my self awake so nothing happens. After icing for an hour is it ok to fall asleep? Thank you.

Hi

Generally after the head injury there will be lot of pain and pressure areas in the region of the injury as the blood supply is very high to the the face region

keep icing the parts injured and clean the cut part of the nose with betadine solution and apply betadine cream, in case if the cut is very deep then you may require suturing

Generally any kind of head injury it is suggested to get an MRI done and monitoring for any symptoms for 24 hours
As you say that you are feeling extreme sleepiness, MRI can be done to rune out any brain injury

Keep calm and relax

Wish You Good Health


Regards
