Hello,
As you are having heart problems, my advice is to keep regular follow-ups with your cardiologist to evaluate the status of your cardiovascular system.
With regards to the dent in your skull, most probably could be due to local injury although you do not recall any local hit.
Should consult with a dermatologist first to rule out skin issues. If nothing is found, a neurologist to consult further and run MRI of head and skull to determine the right diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
