So I’m a little nervous. I’m having this right sided flank pain. It goes from my low back (already have back probs so always hard to distinguish) to right side below rib age around the front to the ovary area and cramps. It’s dull then comes on stronger in waves. I had afew heart palpitations today too. I took my bp about an hour ago and it was 144/93 pulse 95. Just took it again and it’s 138/80 pulse 93. If I go to ER I have to go alone and we are expecting ice storm. I don’t want to drive home alone in the dark in an ice storm. I would like to wait til the morn. What do u think? Does this sound like kidney infection?
I had kidney failure in June but they were able to improve with steroids. I have that very similar pain to you and high blood pressure too. All my labs show normal kidney function and all my docs say the pain that I am having is muscle spasms. My kidney doc has me on blood pressure meds as well. I hope you can figure out what is wrong! ! :)
How did they figure out you were in failure if the labs are so deceiving?
I’m going to go to urgent care today. I was up half the night.
Your kidneys are directly connected to your BP. Have you have a urine test? It's very important to have a urine test to see if you are losing protein and iron. These are essential in getting oxygen to your organs.
An ultrasound should not be dismissed either.
