Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms are related to head concussion.
The black eye is caused by subcutaneous hematoma.
I would recommend going to the ER for a careful physical examination and a brain CT scan to exclude possible intracranial hemorrhage or a scull fracture.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Aida
