You didn't mention how many days back it happened.
If it is more than 24 hours, please get a CT scan head done and consult a Neurosurgeon.
Pain in the head in an adult lasting for more than 24 hours after pressure on it due to the hand of an average human being (not a Sumo wrestler) means that something is wrong with the skull bones and the pressure could have caused some pressure effects on the brain.

Depends on the intensity or intention and duration of the heavy persons hand. If it was just for light support it should have been reduced by now.
If it's still paining even after ice packs and pain killers and as you mentioned your eyes are swollen too, better get physically examined by a doctor.
Health Tips
Avoid travelling alone in this acute phase.

Hello ! Given your persistent head pain that hasn't improved with paracetamol, and particularly the development of eye swelling following the impact to your head, yes, this is a situation that warrants concern and requires prompt medical attention.
Next Steps
Please proceed for an in-person evaluation as soon as possible. This is to rule out any significant underlying injury, such as a fracture. The medical team there will be able to examine you thoroughly and determine if any imaging, like a CT scan, is necessary.
Health Tips
Rest and avoid strain !
Continue gentle ice application
Elevate ur head slightly
Notice any new or worsening symptom like increased intensity of headache, dizziness, confusion and weakness
