وجهي يضرب أخماسه بأسداسه

Arabic to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Hi Everyone,

I'm working on a Syrian text. Does this mean the person looks very tired?
She's been captured after trying to escape to Europe, and is now in a cell in Turkey.

نظرت حولي بسرعة خوفا من رؤية أحد الشبان لي وأنا أستيقظ ووجهي يضرب أخماسه بأسداسه

Many thanks!

my face was a mess / with a puffy face

my face was a mess when I woke up / when I woke up with a puffy face
The literal meaning of "يضرب أخماسه بأسداسه" is "confused, perplexed"
