No Covid... scared of kidney problem

[alcrth6]

Hi I’ve been having really bad back pain, with extreme dizziness and what feels like vertigo. Also scared of cancer in liver or spine.

think it’s all in my head.Awaiting blood tests that were done yesterday.

things I should look out for if it’s kidney/liver?
And shortness of breath.

If your test come back normal do not look into them.
I learned the hard way.
My levels gfr came back at 79
That means only working at 79% most people will freak out its still within normal range and as we get older they decline.
Everything you're describing is most likely
Anxiety.
Kidney issues would be recurrent pain and signs of infection
Blood in urine and more

So I should worry even if it comes back normal?

confused I feel fine laying down its when I stand up I start getting dizzy.

I'd not worry.
If your doctors clear you than you're fine.
I've been to the ER 8 times and been through 2 ct scans 1 mri all clean.
Its anxiety straight up.

Hi Iz,

I hope you’re doing well. You are so right. My GFR just came back with a low but normal number. I’m 64 y/o so that especially freaked me out. All other results excellent (blood sugar, CBC, lipids etc). I asked my doctor how can he say “all results good” with this GFR number? I mentioned the number is even lower than my last reading. He responded “no concern about GFR”.

I left it there. Docs look at the big picture..is the patient diabetic? have high BP? Serious cardiovascular risks? I guess if not, he is not concerned.

But the HA is a nightmare. I’ve been imagining myself needing a transplant one day.

I have a low gfr as well only at 71 and it scared the hell out of me. At 37 years old. But he wasnt concerned and saids its not a true kidney function test and its unchanged in years. Idk still bothers me.
