Whether I need to go to urgent care,ER, or chiropractor

I dont think they would be able to take care of this at an urgent care or chiropractors office. The testing you would need would not be available at either one of those sites. READ MORE

The medications you list would never cause permanent harm, but could certainly cause symptoms that would resolve within a few weeks at the most.

Why does my eyes roll in the back of my head and almost fall asleep while having a conversation

Very unlikely to be a brain tumor. The brain itself has no pain fibers. You can operate on the brain with the patient wide awake. So typically headaches are from things outside the brain, and outside the skull. Like muscle tension, eye strain, migraines and such. A Neurologist would need to know a lot more about them to figure out a cause: like do you get nausea or light and sound sensitivity with them, do they happen a certain time of day or a certain season or after a particular exercise. But a brain tumor?, from your description is unlikely. Leon Rosenberg

A difficult situation with the combination of illnesses. What you describe does not suggest epilepsy, unless the repetitive movement is throughout just 1 side of the body (people with epilepsy who have convulsions on both sides at the same time would be unconscious).
