With the swelling ontop seeing white dots sounds to me cause of concern, I don't mean to get you worried but I would mention it to your Dr just to be on safe side.

I have terrible heartburn and a cough when I first lie down but other than that I don't feel sick.
The light doesn't hurt my eyes. Sometimes I see the little white dots but not all the time.
