Question

I've been working from home for the past three years, and I've noticed I'm spending a lot of time on my laptop because of workat least 12 to 13 hours a day. Lately, I've been experiencing headaches, a burning sensation, and watery eyes. I'm also having trouble sleeping, feeling really fatigued, low energy, and like I always want to sleep but just can't. What could be causing these issues?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been a heart patient and even had bypass surgery about five years ago. He's been on blood thinners ever since. Now he's dealing with cataracts and the eye doctors are saying he should stop his blood thinners for a week before the surgery. I'm not sure about this advice. Is it really necessary to stop taking those medicines? And if he does stop, could it cause any problems or risks for his heart condition?

Question

Hey, I'm a bit concerned because when I woke up last night, everything looked yellow for about a minute before my vision returned to normal. Do you have any idea what the reason for this could be? Should I see a specific type of doctor? Oh, and just in case it matters, I had a C-section on April 5th, 2018. Would appreciate some insights!
