I am the only offspring of two sickly elderly parents. I am single and they both live in my home. I am being forced to leave my job of 24 years to stay home and take care of them. My mother is paraplegic and has many other health-related issues, and my father has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. My mother is entitled to 2 hours of in-home care by the Office of the Aging, and my dad is entitled to 1 hour. Can I leave my job and receive some kind of assistance from the government to take care of my parents? 3 hours a day is unsafe, and they are alone for 6 hours while I am at work. I take care of most of their needs while I am here, but I can't work while they are home and unsafe. Can you tell me what my options are? I am willing to stay home and take care of them, but I do need some small income and health insurance if I leave my employer.

Lately, when I turn my head quickly, look up quickly, or bend over, I feel slightly dizzy, which then goes away. This even happens at night when I'm trying to sleep and change positions. What could this be, and should I visit a doctor?

I am a 46-year-old man. My problem is that my sex drive is very fast and my semen ejaculates very quickly, which not only I don't enjoy but also my wife doesn't. Please tell me what can I do?

For two years, I've been experiencing pain, especially at night, under my right arm towards the clavicle bone and up my neck on the right side. The pain is deep and hard to describe. I've seen my regular family doctor about this problem for almost two years now, and it has been getting worse, leading to more fatigue and less energy, even though I work out at the gym almost every day. What could be causing this pain, and what further steps should I take?

I have a heart rate of 84 all day and a blood pressure of 120/78. The main concern is that when I sit down, I fall asleep within a few minutes, even in the early evening. What could be the cause of this, and is it a circulation problem or something more serious?
