hi everyone. hope you are all holding up ok. so I'm 20 weeks pregnant and last night I was diagnosed with a kidney infection after I was sitting at home became extremely faint and dizzy and unsteady. it was so scary. I. just wondering is this normal with a kidney infection. my anxiety is a bit high over it at the moment because it was so scary when it happened. i still feel off but I started an antibiotic today. I've been feeling anxious since and just been worried. sometimes I'm sitting and I feel really unsteady since last night. my blood pressure was fine. of course my anxiety is telling me it's my heart it something. thanks for reading appreciate any advice xo

    I'm a male but I assume you would have had a urine or blood test. Often you would get an ache or pain around the back just below the ribs and maybe pain urinating. That should go after a few days taking the pills but if it doesn't check back with the Dr. PS is this a COVID thing?
