If I take say three swallows as a battle is about to start will my lost health keep on increasing during the fight when
there is no time or gap to take one during the fight?
I also am unable to fathom out why taking swallow while fighting the health bar increases very slowly but other times
an empty health bar immediately increases to full. Presumably it must be some other potion I have also equipped
that allows instant full health.

To the first question: No. You can only have one potion of each kind active at one time (so drinking 3 swallow potions is not better than drinking one - it just means you run out of healing quicker). Also there is always a time gap, since you can place your potions in the quick-slots allowing you to use them instantly. Alternatively open your inventory and drink the potions by selecting them and pressing "E". The game will pause when you open the interface.

If you read the description on swallow potions the standard potions will not heal you for a time if you take damage in a fight. Enhanced swallow reduces this downside and Superior swallow will allow you to gain HP per second even while taking damage. For a character using the standard swallow it is advised to drink a swallow potion after the fight. (Or don't take damage at all, but then why would you need swallow in the first place?)

White Raffard's Decoction allows you to heal some HP instantly (the amount increased with each potion level - superior versions heal Geralt fully and provide a short period of immunity).

Thank you for this info.
