Dizziness may be a symptom of altered blood pressure.
Please get your blood pressure checked immediately.

I dont feel that dizzy today. I do have a cough and a little cold. And it hardly hurts anymore. Plus the last time i was to the doctor she told me i had a lot of wax in my ears. Maybe that could be it? I tried some drops and the dont seem to be getting any wax out...What can i use?

Thank you

Hi,
Its nice to hear that you feel better.
If drops do not help get your ears checked by a ENT.They might need syringing to clear the wax out.

I do have a headache now and sinus pressure around my eyes and my neck hurts...Im going to go go fast care this afternoon and get checked out, because I cant afford to go the doctor again. This all started out with a headache and then i got that pain in my ribs again and then i felt dizzy and now i dont feel so dizzy more sick and weak.

Hi,
You have taken the right decision. Consult a physician who might help you out and give you relief faster and at an affordable rate.
For the pain you can take acetaminophen and for sinus pressure take vapor inhalation.
Wish you a speedy recovery.

i do feel a little out of breath and i have that burning on my chest again. She told me that could be acid reflux or heartburn. now i feel okay..sometimes i feel sick and then sometimes i dont...could it be the weather ...I do have allergies too especially in the spring.

Answered by Dr. Samik Basu (25 minutes later)

Hi,
It might be the weather specially if you are allergic. Keep away from pollens, dust, smoke and pets.
Take plenty of fluids and some antiallergics if you have a stuffy nose/cough.
Stay healthy
