My doctor ordered a pt test, cbc test, and metabolic test. i have discoloration and bruising around my eyes. i eat huge amount of spinach, and foods high in folate, iron and vitamin k. should i stop eating those foods for a few days before the tests?

Check with PCP: If you have nasal congestion or inflammation, this may result in discoloration around the eyes as well. If there was no mention of changing your diet, it should be fine. Please check though with your PCP for additional advise.
