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.

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?

I visited my nurse practitioner today for a routine pap smear after having a partial hysterectomy in 2019. The N.P. noticed some bleeding and performed a chemical cauterization. I noticed significant bleeding afterward, similar to having my period, and my blood pressure was very high at 189. Should I be concerned, and what should I do next?
