I just discovered a lump on the lower aspect of my breast. It feels quite large and hard. I am scared beyond words. What should I do given it is Friday night?

I used to get dizzy occasionally, but in the last two weeks, dizziness has become more frequent, occurring a couple of times a day. I have high blood pressure, with my last reading being 169/79. I am currently taking Betaloc ZOC 100 mg, Codiovan 60/125, and Norvasc or Amlodipine 2.5 mg. What could be causing the increased frequency of dizziness and what tests or treatments should I consider?

I received a pneumococcal injection on 10/11/09. I am 60 years old, in good shape, and exercise daily. I am on cholesterol medications due to a family history of cardiovascular problems. Since the injection, I have experienced body aches and my shoulder at the injection site is locked and very sore. I have used heat and anti-inflammatory medications to treat it, but I still wake up feeling unwell. Could there be a connection between my medications and the shot? Also, on the day of the shot, I went for a 30-mile bike ride and couldn't raise my arm afterward.
