I have an umbilical hernia that has been present for three years and may have grown slightly larger. Some doctors say it looks incarcerated, while others say it is too small to be considered so. The hernia causes some discomfort but doesn't hurt when pressed and is firm, not reducing when pressed. What should I do about this?

I had to leave work today as a delivery driver because my vision became blurry/wavy and I felt like I was going to pass out. This is very unusual for me, but I did have COVID about 2 months ago. Is this a reported side effect of COVID recovery, and what should I do about it?

I had two aneurysms, one of which ruptured in 2016, and I also have a brain AVM on the left side. The rupture caused the AVM to bleed and resulted in a minor stroke. I was treated by a specialist who filled 90% of the AVM with an Onyx device and all the aneurysms. They mentioned that the AVM could potentially grow and want to finish filling it soon. My last appointment was a year ago, and it hadn't grown. I frequently experience severe headaches, lightheadedness, and sometimes numbness in my legs and arms. Is this something I will have to deal with for life?

I have had a consistent headache for the last couple of days, accompanied by nosebleeds, and I suspect it's related to my allergies. I am anemic since childhood and take over-the-counter allergy medications and Flonase. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
