Suggest Remedy For Capillary Vein Burst In Eye

I had a capillary vein burst in my eye a few days ago and also am having bowel movements that appear to black or dark green. Not taking any different supplements or eating a lot of green veggies. I am 61 years old and do take medicine for high BP, along with other meds for depression and hypothyroid.

Actually nil treatment required for the bleed in the eye which is called Spontaneous sub conjunctival hemorrhage (SCH), if very boggy then lubricating eye drops.

More than that it is an 'ALARM' sign that there is a systemic problem in the body most commonly high uncontrolled B.P especially during early waking hours and noticing 'RED EYE' as soon as waking up. So will need to refer to physician for systemic evaluation
