I have blood in my spit and I'm anxious about whether it could be a sign of cancer. I had an EGD (Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy) in May 2021 and I'm 40 years old. I'm worried if the blood is coming from my throat, esophagus, or lungs. Could it be related to my parotid gland or esophagus? Should I be concerned about cancer?

I used a nasal spray last night and now I have pressure and sharp pain in my left ear, similar to the feeling during a plane taking off. The pain is constant. I'm taking iron supplements and I'm 21 years old. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I had unprotected sex on May 28th and took Plan B within 24 hours. My period before Plan B was from May 15th to May 20th, and after Plan B, I got my period on June 11th, which was lighter than usual and had smaller clots. The last day of my period was June 15th. I have been feeling extremely tired and a little nauseous. I'm worried I might be pregnant but then I got my period, so I'm confused. Additionally, I'm taking warfarin, and after taking Plan B, my INR level has been high. They've tried to change my dose but it's either too low or too high, and other than Plan B, I haven't taken anything else. What does this mean, and should I be concerned about being pregnant or my INR levels?
