I have been experiencing headaches on the right side of my head near my temple for a month. I have neck and back pain on the right side, a history of TMJ, and have recently had a baby. My doctor prescribed ibuprofen and a muscle relaxer, but the pain hasn't improved. What could be causing these headaches, and should I be concerned about something serious like a brain tumor?

I've been experiencing anxiety and varying intensity panic attacks, but the dizziness that starts 5 minutes after I wake up and continues throughout the day until I fall asleep at night is the most psychologically draining issue. My dizziness varies from micro bursts of spinning, feeling lightheaded, and being pulled to the side, to moments where my brain seems to shut down for a split second. When it's at its worst, I become slow, can't concentrate, and my speech and memory are affected. I sleep around 8 hours at night and take a 1-hour nap in the afternoon, but this doesn't help. What could be causing this dizziness and what should I do?

My son was hospitalized on April 15, 2011, with an inflamed liver. During his stay, he was diagnosed with a blocked stent, a heart infection, and needed a bypass. After several days of treatment, he experienced a panic attack and later passed away due to left ventricular failure, bronchopneumonia, myocardial infarction, and coronary artery atheroma. I am seeking answers as to why he was moved out of bed so soon after having tubes removed, which I believe contributed to his passing. Can you provide an honest answer?

I have been taking 3000 mg of niacin for high cholesterol for about 2 months. I am experiencing dizziness and rapid heartbeats, which have improved since I stopped taking it 3 days ago. Is this the best procedure?

Yesterday I woke up with soreness in my jaw, which turned out to be a large lump in my neck right under the chin, more to the left. I have a history of thyroid nodules and get sonograms every 6 months, but this lump is new and concerning. Can this be related to my thyroid history? What else could this be? I am very worried.

My 19-year-old daughter has been experiencing frequent vertigo. She is a full-time college student working 21 hours a week and recently discovered her room was infested with bedbugs. Her doctor prescribed Vyvanse 30 mg. I'm making her an appointment for blood work. What tests should I request?
