How Can Headache And Puffy Eyes Be Treated?

Hi: 86 year old mother in-law with memory loss about every 3 to 4 months. Last a few days then memory comes back. When she has an episode she says that she has a sinus headache and her eyes are slightly red and puffy. She has been under a considerable amount of stress caring for an invalid husband. 6 days ago he passed and she had a memory loss issue 4 days later. She spends fall, winter, and spring in Upstate NY and spends the summer in the 1000 island area where ticks are present. She just had a CT scan, blood and urine testing and they all came back fine. Do you have any suggestions that may help?
