Feeling Of Carrying Extra Load Inside Pushing Against Lungs. On Antibiotics For Kidney Infection. Any Ideas?
I've been diagnosed with a kidney infection. I've taken the antibiotics as prescribed for ten days.I'm now on the second week without meds awaiting blood and urine test results. I feel as though I'm carrying a heavy extra load inside that feels like it's pushing up against my lungs. I'm a 66 year old male. Can you give me an educated guess as to what is causing me to feel this way?
