What Causes Tiredness After Being Hit In The Face?
I was hit in the face by accident with an elbow. Right on my cheek bone near my eye. My face swelled up loads. An ambulance was called and I have been to hospital. I have had x-rays and nothing was broken. It s now 6 days later, the bruising is down the whole side of my face. It s still swollen where the actual impact was. My question is why do i still feel so tired. I could sleep all day, my legs feel weak. Why do I feel like this?

hello, hit on cheek bone, swelling of eye and face,xray normal. no pain, rues out there is no extensive injury. weekness or fatigue could be due to some other cause like ur not taking enough food due to pain or it could be due to anaemia or vitamin deficiency or something else. kindly evaluate by doing blood tests and general and physical examination.sometimes xray will not reveal heamosinus and hairline fractures, evaluate by ct pans. all d best.
