With a glucose level above 300, can pills alone bring it down? I am on medication for high cholesterol and high blood pressure, not taking anything else, and not allergic to any medications.

I am experiencing sudden dizziness in my head. It started three days ago and I haven't taken any medication for it. I haven't seen a doctor about it yet. I have a history of drinking Exforge for blood pressure and Glucophage for insulin. I sometimes become dizzy with head movements, my blood pressure is normal, I'm not sure about ear infections, I'm 54 years old and female, and I suffer from stress.

I am worried I might have HIV because I had unprotected anal sex with another male five days ago. He claims to be HIV-negative and was tested six months prior. During the encounter, I was the insertive partner and there was no ejaculation. What are the chances I have HIV, and should I get tested?

I took my wife to the ER last Tuesday with symptoms resembling a possible heart attack. They conducted blood tests, X-rays, and ultrasounds of all major organs, concluding it was not a heart attack. They recommended a stress test, which she is scheduled for on Monday. The initial symptoms included severe pain in her upper abdomen that extended to under her right shoulder blade. The discharge papers indicate abdominal pain, acute, epigastric. The ER doctor also mentioned a possible pleuritic condition. The pain in her abdomen has subsided, but the pain under her shoulder blade continues. Any thoughts on the pleurisy factor?
