My father has filaria and was prescribed injections twice a day for 5 days. On the third day, he experienced nosebleeds and blood in his mouth, which stopped when he lay down. He is also taking blood-thinning aspirin and had filaria four years ago without nosebleeds. What could be causing these symptoms and what dietary or other measures can help?

I'm experiencing severe pressure behind my left eye and above my eyebrow, along with headaches only on the left side. I had a CT scan of my sinus and head which showed minimal debris in my air cell. I was diagnosed with severe dry eye syndrome in my left eye. Could these symptoms be related to the CT scan findings, or are they more likely due to my eye condition?

My 48-year-old wife experiences mild bilateral arm tingling with slight numbness that usually resolves quickly. She also has anxiety and IBS, and since Christmas, she has had intermittent abdominal pain, bloating, and constipation. Her feces can be flat or round, but there is no blood in the stool and no weight loss. She is scheduled for a colonoscopy due to age. Should we be concerned about heart disease or colon cancer based on these symptoms?
