What Causes Swollen Eyelid And Left Sided Tongue Numbness In A Heart Patient?

hi my name is Ian I m 59 and I woke up in the early morning about 3:30ish and my eyelid was swollen, not closed but about half way closed, I recall having an itchy eye while sleeping and doing the 2 fist rub on my eyes, I iced it and it didn t help much, in the morning after being awake for a bit I noticed my lip (mostly upper) tingling. I already have a bit of numbness on the left side of my tongue, I blame that on a left side stroke I had in 2010, I got back all function on the left side, I also have A-fib and a pace maker, and good ol fibromyalgia. It appears to be an allergic reaction to something, I thought it was a spider bite at first, but I can t find a bite mark, I do react badly to bug bites, but have never had a bite on my eyelid. I took 2 allergy tabs (diphenhydramine) I have to drive to a nearby town to my DR or ER, I m trying not to make the trip.My meds have been the same for quite awhile. Thanks  MEDICATION  ALBUTEROL SULFATE HFA AEROSOL INHALER (albuterol sulfate) 90 mcg/actuation 2 SPRAYS EVERY 4 HOURS AS NEEDED COUGH/WHEEZE.  Amt: 1Inhaler ASPIRIN TABLET aspirin+calcium carbonate+aluminum hydroxide+aspirin+magnesium)81 mg 1 TAB ORALLY DAILY BUPROPION HCL SR TABLET,SUSTAINED-RELEASE (bupropion HCl) 150 mg 1 TAB ORALLY TWICE DAILY  METOPROLOL TARTRATE TABLET (metoprolol tartrate) 25 mg 1 TAB ORALLY TWICE DAILY  - PROPAFENONE TABLET (propafenone HCl) 225 mg          1 TAB ORALLY TWICE DAILY  - WARFARIN TABLET (warfarin sodium) 7.5 mg 10MG MON/THUR AND 7.5MG ALL OTHER DAYS

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of swollen eyelid and left sided tongue numbness in a heart patient. The symptoms can be due to pressure and inflammation of Trigeminal nerve and its branches leading to numbing of face. The symptoms can also occur due to allergic reaction like allergy from cosmetic product or food allergy . But in your case the symptoms also indicated heart problem like heart failure symptoms . So consult cardiologist without any delay . Doctor may order ECG , TMT , complete blood profile along with angiography and treat accordingly . Doctor may also refer you to oral surgeon.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
