I'm concerned because I started taking this medication called Pruvict 2, and I've been waking up with a headache the next morning. It started happening after I took the tablet at night. Is this a normal side effect, or should I be worried about something more?

I'm experiencing this weird falling sensation while walking, and it's been going on for about three years now. Along with this, I feel severe anxiety, panic, and stomach discomfort, and I often get dizzy and a bit giddy. Sometimes it even feels like someone is pushing my head forward. It's really gotten to the point where I'm scared to go anywhere because of how uncomfortable all of this is. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on and how I can get rid of these feelings?
