I took a combination of Robax (for back and shoulder pain), an antidepressant (Trintellix), Claritin (for allergies), and lavender cannabis tea, which led to the development of sleep apnea. I am concerned about potential lasting effects on my brain stem and autonomous breathing. Is the damage likely to progress or get worse, heal, or stay the same? Additionally, I had a glass of wine after taking Cyclobenzaprine, and now I have tingling in my left hand. Could these events have caused brain stem injury?

I believe I have an ear infection that starts in my ear and goes down my neck. I've been experiencing this for two days, along with a headache on the affected side, nasal stuffiness, and neck stiffness. I'm 32 years old, not currently using any medications other than Tylenol for pain, and I'm allergic to penicillin. I've never had an ear infection before. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

I am a 75-year-old female experiencing drooling, both during the day and at night, despite not having any tremors or shaking. I am currently taking multiple medications and have an autoimmune condition called Wegener's Granulomatosis, which has caused me to lose much of my hearing and has led to some balance problems. What could be causing the drooling and what should I do?
