Hey i am a 22 year old male, I feel on a coffee table and hit my head around the eye area 3 nights ago, on the morning of the second day my the area around my eye had swollen and turned a reddish purple as well as around a third of my eye turning blood red. If i bend over i feel pressure in my head and have felt today as if i was getting a cold and have had a hard time concentrating. Thanks very much Rob

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having swelling around the eye and purple colored skin following a injury.
This indicates black eye because of collection of blood in the layers of skin.
This will resolve by 1-2 weeks hence no need to worry.
If you have vision related problems like blurred vision, double vision... you need to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope this is helpful to you.

Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
I find this answer helpful
