I am taking Hydrochlorothiazide, Benicar, and Atenolol and experiencing lightheadedness. How long have you been using Atenolol? Has it helped at all? Are you currently using any other medications in addition to what you've mentioned? How old are you? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know? My blood pressure is running about 135/70. Why am I getting lightheaded occasionally? What do you mean by lightheaded? I feel very lightheaded for about two seconds, and then I go blank for about ten seconds. Of course, if I am standing, I fall down. Does your doctor know about this? She is not sure what is causing the problem, we are wondering if my meds are in conflict. The lightheadedness occurs the same time, after I have exercised so wondering if it is caused by low blood sugar?

I have had red, itchy eyes for 2 days. The itchiness comes and goes, and I have no known allergies. I was exposed to bleach fumes a week ago and recently had contact with my grandson who had a cold but no pink eye. I have tried over-the-counter natural eye drops for red eyes, but they don't help much. What could be causing this and what other treatments should I consider?

The bridge of my nose seems to have collapsed. This has been a concern for about 4 days. I am 31 years old and not currently using any medications. I was hit on the forehead with a bottle a few years ago. What could be the issue and what should I do?

I need to take another medication for an issue I'm having, but I'm not sure if it's safe with the medications I'm currently taking. I've been using naproxen 500mg and now I have a gout flare-up that naproxen isn't helping with. What should I do?

I’ve been experiencing headaches, neck tension, vision problems (blurry or shaky vision, trouble focusing), and occasional spasms on my upper lip or cheeks. I also have palpitations, arrhythmias, obstructive sleep apnea, and was in a car accident two years ago. I’m concerned if these symptoms could be related to brain damage or other serious issues.

Today I ate some home-cooked chicken. I also cleaned bat poop outside. Now I have nausea and a mild stomach ache. What would be the most likely cause of my symptoms?
