I've been getting these sudden headaches every afternoon around 5pm for the past week. They're kind of strange since they happen at the same time every day, but I don't feel dizzy when they hit. Do you think there's something I should be worried about or any idea why this might be happening?

It sounds like you might be experiencing a pattern of headaches, which could be triggered by factors like stress, dehydration, or even your daily routine. It's worth noting if certain habits or triggers correlate with the timing, and consulting with your doctor could help pinpoint the cause for proper treatment.

My dad's leg suddenly bends at the knee while he's just walking around, and it happens pretty often. There's no pain, which I guess is good, but it's still really worrying. Why does this happen, and should we be concerned?

It sounds like your father may be experiencing muscle weakness or instability in his knee. I would recommend he try using a knee brace for added support. Additionally, he can take a muscle relaxant like Flexeril to help with any muscle tension that may be contributing to the issue.
