I am job searching and have to take a pre-employment screening. I do not take illegal drugs but do take 50mg of Zoloft as necessary about once every other day. Will this in any way affect the drug test? Should I disclose it at all to the lab? Is there a confidentiality agreement or will they report it to my future employer? Additionally, about two months ago, I smoked a joint, which was a one-time thing. Will this show up on the drug test?

I am a 51-year-old male on several medications including Hydrochlorothiazide, Lovastatin, Furosemide, and Atenolol. My blood pressure has been averaging around 115/62 but recently increased to 134-146/60-86. After experiencing a lot of stress, my face became very red, my heart began pounding intensely, and my blood pressure dropped to 99/80 with a pulse of 136. The pounding lasted for about 20-30 minutes and has now returned. Should I be worried? Do I need to go to the hospital, or can I see a doctor tomorrow? Is it just stress?

I'm a 22-year-old female experiencing extreme dizziness and nausea for the first time, along with a slight headache and eye floaters. The dizziness worsens upon standing but is present while sitting. I recently had a mediastinoscopy due to enlarged lymph nodes and moved from California to Maryland two weeks ago. What could be causing these symptoms?
