I am a boxer who trains every day, running 3-7 miles and doing a lot of punching. I have been drinking coffee for a long time, initially 1 cup with about 100-150 mg of caffeine, but switched to Starbucks 4 months ago, which has 300-400 mg per cup. Since then, I developed tendonitis in my knee and Achilles, and my joints started cracking. I have since switched back to the lower caffeine brand, but the issues persist. Could caffeine be related to these problems?

I have been experiencing electric sensations in my head, especially during moderate workouts, which sometimes start at the top of my head and move to the back, causing pain that lasts for a few minutes. I have migraines with aura and low ferritin, for which I am taking iron supplements. I am also on progestrin birth control pills. Could these sensations be a type of headache, and should I be concerned about stroke or aneurysm?

My girlfriend bit her tongue during a seizure a couple of weeks ago, and has had a sore throat since then. Recently, she experienced a clear liquid coming from her throat, followed by vomiting, headache, and nausea. She has type 1 diabetes and has been managing her blood sugar levels. What could be causing these symptoms and what should we do?

My period is never late, and I'm currently on birth control. My period is 4 days late and counting. What should I do? Should I see my doctor, take the pills for next month if it doesn't come, or what?
