Can anyone help me?

I am having a lot of problems. I am only 18 years old. I have chapped lips every day. I use chapstick and I have to constantly buy chapstick because if not, my lips will become dry and it will stay that way. I had this problem for over 2 years now. It's not going away and it's very irritating. Back around when I first started getting the problem, I drank plenty of water and it never helped. I don't drink as much water as now but the results are still the same. I get a lot of heart pains, too. I told a doctor before and they never did a thing for me. Another thing is that whenever I brush my teeth, I gag because there's mucus filling up my throat and it's not very good :( My jaw pops a lot. I get a lot of migraines. Especially when I take naps. It is accompanied with nausea. The migraine, I mean. I'm not sure what to do because the doctors only gave me shots for my migraines. It went away just for that day but then I think I had an allergic reaction to it. I have to take at least 3 to 5 advil pills for migraines or else it won't help. I can't take any strong pain killers because it makes me lightheaded. I also get lightheaded for no reason, whether I'm standing up, laying down, or sitting down. My vision becomes black and I rock back and forth. So you see, I have a lot of problems for my age. I didn't know what to make this topic as but I put it for pain because most of it IS pain and it's just really terrible. Anyone have suggestions? Please and thanks

How long did you try drinking extra water for? It takes a while for your body to get used to the sudden influx, even though that's really what it needs. For the first few days you'll just pee it all out as you're not used to it! I used to think I was addicted to lip-balm but after persevering with the water it became apparent it was really just dehydration. Headaches can be caused by the same thing too, and so can dizzyness/lightheadedness. Are you eating enough of the right foods and/or taking decent supplements? Nutrient deficiency can have those symptoms as well... Also, "alternative" medicine (ie, acupuncture, homeopathy etc) can be very adept at helping ease some of your symptoms.

I wouldn't say that I brush my teeth every day but I do every once in a while. I think that my jaw pops only because I punched myself really hard before (don't ask) and that could be why. I've had migraines before my jaw even feeling any pain. I have had migraines over 2 years. I used to feel nauseated every day too

How is your dental health? It seems you have a lot of issues relating to your head and mouth. I'm no dentist but I know that poor dental hygeine can cause a lot of problems you wouldn't think to be related.
