Possible Kidney Issues?
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hey! I’m a 21 yo male. About two weeks ago, I had a severe sudden dizzy spell and couldn’t stand up straight. Went to urgent care who did a basic blood test. Later that night, I noticed a sharp shooting pain after urinating in my lower left side/back.
Blood test Creatinine and BUN levels were normal. Over the past two weeks, I’ve noticed some bubbles/foaming in my urine. I seem to be peeing a lot more frequently.
I am still having constant dizziness and a swollen optic nerves (mri came back normal for brain scan) but yesterday, I started noticing more dull aching in my lower left side and it’s somewhat painful after drinking water or eating, but goes away and comes back.
Does this sound like a kidney problem? If my numbers were normal in the blood test two weeks ago, could my kidneys be failing in that short amount of time? I had a urine test and another set of blood tests done today, but I’m pretty anxious. My BP seems normal and no fever. Thanks

hi,
the dizziness has since passed along with the blurred vision. after many scans later and worry for nothing, i was fine. i later had swollen lymph nodes which scared me but i seem to be coping. numerous urine tests and blood work all came back negative for anything related to kidneys.
i must say, i got myself really worked up and probably ended up in the ER 10 times (i went to 3 different ERs in 1 night!) i was diagnosed with severe health anxiety and somatoform disorder.
after being on cymbalta for 6 months now, my panic has subsided. i do still have bubbly and foamy urine, but i guess its nothing since all my scans, visits, and bloodwork were clear and im feeling much better
