I'm kind of worried because I've had nosebleeds a couple of times now. The first time it happened was back in February, and then it happened again just this May, lasting about 5 minutes and around 34 drops. On top of that, I've been dealing with stomach pain before and after meals. I work at a power plant and usually eat at the office canteen. Do you think there's something serious going on?

The nosebleeds you are experiencing could be due to dry air or irritation in your nasal passages. To help with this, you can use a saline nasal spray like Nasoclear 2-3 times a day to keep your nasal passages moist. As for the stomach pain before and after eating, it could be related to gastritis or acid reflux. You can try taking an antacid like Mucaine Gel or Gelusil Syrup after meals to see if it helps with the pain. Since you work in a power plant, it's important to stay hydrated throughout the day and eat light, non-greasy meals to avoid exacerbating your stomach issues. If the symptoms persist, it's recommended to see a doctor for further evaluation.
