Lights flickering and clicking noise

My house was built in 1886 and I know it has some knob and tube still. But for the last week maybe I keep hearing a loud click and all of the lights in my house will flicker. I just turned everything off tonight other than a lamp to see what would happen and it’s STILL clicking in the other room even without the flickering since it’s off. Should I call an electrician for this or is it urgent ? I swore I just smelled a slight smoke smell for a second when it did it once tonight as well so I’m a bit nervous.

Best products to wash car

I haven’t washed it at home yet and I’m not sure what is the best to use. I did once at a place before knowing better and it created little scratches because I haven’t coated it yet. Just don’t want that to happen again 🙃

Constant palpitations for days

I don’t know what is going on but it’s driving me crazy. For the last two days I’ve been having palpitations like every few mins, sometimes a few in a minute or a couple in a row. I’ve always had issues with PVCs and heart rate around stomach issues, but I don’t feel like much is going on with my stomach other than my regular bloating. But I am burping a bunch around the palpitations I’ve noticed. I just don’t know what to do to calm them down, like it’s nonstop unless I’m standing up. I just don’t have any at all if I’m standing but sitting or lying down it won’t calm down.

Migraine with tingling

My neurologist thinks I’m having silent migraines a lot of the time because I have visual disturbances like flashes and dark spots. But I’m currently having an actual painful migraine and throbbing but I’m having very very slight tingling on one side of my body, I wasn’t sure if this was a thing? Other than that I feel completely normal so nothing crazy going on but wasn’t sure if it’s something I should update my doctor on or something or ask about!!
I will say I fully believe they are nicotine induced majority of the time which is something I am trying to stop.

What is going on ???

I am having a mental breakdown about this because my house was flipped and I’ve even messaged the people who flipped it to ask what is happening and have no answers. I’ve called multiple contractors who are just telling me to put trim up but I’m not doing that because the entire wall is moving when I touch around the parts that are cracking. It’s an older home and I know around the windowsills are the original wall but the interior walls are obviously new. I just am at a loss at this point and it’s getting worse.

Episode of tingly face/lips/hands and hard to speak

I had an episode last night where I randomly got super tingly everywhere and my mouth felt heavy or numb almost so it made it hard for me to speak. I could but it just felt hard or like slowed. And it lasted for around an hour and then I was fine. I’m not sure if it’s allergy related? I’ve also been having severe itching in my throat occasionally and my ears feel clogged but it was very odd.

Wall cracking around windows

There is a thin layer of drywall over the existing walls in my home I think? And it’s chipping away around my windows and slowly getting worse. I’m not sure if I should use corner bead or how to go about that. Like using metal ?? and covering it so it blends. I’m a first time homeowner so I’m just not exactly sure how to go about it

Wall chipping off around windows

There is a small layer over the wall in my home. It was flipped so not sure exactly what happened there. But I hired contractors who created a bigger problem and I’m having to sand it away but as I’m peeling off whatever they did and lightly sanding the wall is breaking off more. Is there anything I can do for this? They put paper and mud over the corners but 90% of it peeled up so I’m having to remove the rest.

Flea Infestation

A few months ago contractors that I had hired let my cat out. She came back pregnant and had kittens at home a couple weeks ago. I am assuming the fleas came from her since she was outside for a long time. I can’t give her or her kittens treatment according to my vet due to her nursing and them being only a couple weeks old obviously. I gave my cats the topical medication from my vet yesterday which either hasn’t worked yet or isn’t going to because there are TONS of live fleas on my cats and no dead ones whatsoever. I’m just at a loss of what to do currently since some of them can’t be treated and I don’t know how to remove 8 cats and a dog out of my home to bomb it or anything if they still have an active infestation because they’re just going to come right back in with it so I’m confused on how that even works.

Edit: also any tips to lessen likelihood of spreading to another household would be appreciated. Boyfriend has a cat at home and definitely don’t want that to be a problem.

Dog ate wall in bathroom

I’m assuming this is plaster but not entirely sure? Underneath is some metal sheeting situation. Is there a certain product I can use to smooth this back out? I can fix the baseboard I think but just not sure exactly what to do for the wall.

Involuntary eye movement

Recently I’ve been having this issue where I’ll be watching tv or on my phone and I’ll have a really quick eye movement. It’s both eyes but I’ll be focusing on something and it’s like they twitch to the side quickly and then it’s back to normal. It can happen multiple times spaced out but it’s only a pretty recent thing. Not sure if anyone else has dealt with this! I’m not sure if it would be considered nystagmus still since it’s not like shaking or anything.

Extreme increase in floaters

I bent my neck back too far like 8 months ago and have had pretty bad issues since but no one can tell me what’s going on unfortunately. But one of the big issues has been increase in floaters and light sensitivity. I’ve been to the ophthalmologist and again nothing. Like it’s so extreme, there are black spots absolutely everywhere and the little worm things and I’ll have sparkling little dots pop up and random stuff. It’s getting to the point where it’s extremely distracting because it follows my vision around like I have one in every single part of my vision and being outside is so rough, even on cloudy days. Does anyone else deal with this?? I don’t even know what to do like it’s really starting to bother me.

Blister with red ring on nipple ??

I’m not sure if it’s just an ingrown hair but a clear liquid came out when I was touching it. There’s that little black dot on the right edge of it. I’m not sure if it’s that or ringworm or something else ??? I’ve never experienced this so I’m just confused. I also am on lamictal but don’t have any other spots so not sure if I’m concerned about rash from that.

Cervical Spine MRI

6 months ago I bent my neck back too far and lost my vision and since then have had horrible lightheadedness/balance issues. Like can’t walk straight and severe nerve pain. Like warmth, brain zaps, stabbing pain in my head/neck. And severe increase in floaters and light sensitivity. I just got my results back from a cervical spine MRI and I’m not sure if anyone else has experienced this? Or if this would be the cause of all of this which I’m assuming since it started immediately after.

Pain in upper abdomen

I woke up this morning with pretty bad pain in my upper abdomen, where I circled. It honestly feels muscular ?? But I’m not sure. I have pretty bad stomach issues like severe bloating/gas daily but I’ve never had this. It’s way worse if I flex or stretch. Like going from standing to sitting vice versa. Has anyone else had this?? I like don’t even know what to do to try to help it. I don’t think I’ve done anything to pull any muscles or anything like that, I’m just confused lol.

Adrenaline dump with reflux ?

I have pretty bad acid reflux and need to start meds soon, I was put on omeprazole. But when I have reflux sometimes I get nauseous and have severe bloating and it causes some weird stomach/chest feelings and PVCs. But today I was at a shelter and was doing fine other than all of that which is normal for me and I randomly had some weird impending doom with like an adrenaline feeling that went from my stomach up to my head. And it left my head/ears burning and hot. I started sweating everywhere and my hands were shaking and I was lightheaded. Does this sound like an adrenaline dump ? And has anyone had one due to reflux/bloating issues? I was not feeling well for maybe 30 mins after and still am slightly off. It was probably the worst feeling I’ve ever had just super intense and anxiety inducing. I also am wondering if it maybe had to do with the shelter since I am diagnosed with MCAS but I rarely have any issues other than small rashes or coughing/sneezing from cats.

I hired painters that were recommended by my realtor, they started over a month ago. The photos around the windows are some sort of paper they put around them and mud over that due to some minor cracking starting around my windows, but the paper is peeling and ripping. They were trying to force me to get trim done by them to cover this instead of fixing it. They got sherwin Williams paint which I stated I didn’t want in the first place, and then ended up getting the cheapest version of it. It was too thin and wouldn’t cover, so they tried to resolve it with them and ended up getting a “step up” from what they originally used. But they would not come back until I chose trim, which I didn’t want. After looking carefully, I decided I didn’t want them finishing my house anyways because of how poor they did overall and they were so disrespectful with my belongings. I paid them half up front, which was $1450. Plus $850 for sod which immediately turned brown and is coming up…. They’re refusing to give me the new paint or any of my money back. They’re blaming my kitten for leaving dirt foot prints on my banister for the bad job they did ????? I wiped it off in two seconds with water. And that also has nothing to do with absolutely anything. Kinda at a loss with what to do because they’ve now disappeared. I’ve had other contractor friends try to contact them, nothing. And the manager and his friends are posting concerning videos after our interaction about showing up to someone’s house in ski masks with weapons. I am just concerned. They left their tools at my house and the last conversation we had, they want them back but I do not want them on my property.

Looking to rehome 6 month old :(

I’m in the Cincinnati area, and I’m not sure if anyone has recs on where to list her etc. I’m chronically ill and recently had a neck injury which causes lightheadedness some days, and she’s just too much to handle with all of that. I know I can’t give her the time/energy she deserves for the training she needs. I think she would need someone experienced, because she does have some minor behavioral issues. She doesn’t like being told no and she’ll test you/boundaries. She gets close to your face and barks and snaps. She never bites my face but she will nip at the rest of my body when upset. She’s not fully potty trained, she goes outside but sometimes still in the house. She’s not spayed yet. She gets along really well with my other female dog, but gets protective over water. And she’s not aggressive with cats, but she is a little rough trying to play with them. My cats are super timid in general so they won’t come out much anymore which is a problem for me.

I know I’m pretty dehydrated currently. But most electrolyte drinks make me ILL, I tried the Gatorade one the other day and I was having nonstop PVCs and severely bloated. But now when I’m drinking water I’m getting really lightheaded. Like for a few mins even after just a tiny little sip. What causes this?? I don’t know if it’s stomach related or what because I do get lightheaded and bad symptoms after eating as well.

I literally cannot wear any kind of heels like this because my heels slowly drift off of them but only towards the inside LOL. Like even heels with straps my foot just leaves the shoe. Is there anything I can do to stop this?? I’m not sure if it’s just my foot shape but it’s so annoying trying to walk and I am a huge heel girl so I hate it.
