Login to your Facebook profile and go to Account Settings > Security > Active Sessions  and click on edit.  Over here you can check your account activity sessions, if you find anything suspicious like an access from an unknown region or place, that means your account might be hacked. So you should quickly change both your email address and password for keeping it secure.
