High Blood Pressure, Kidney Disease, Spasms On Back, Headaches, Dizziness, Shortness Of Breath. ER Visit Required?

Hi Dr.,

My name is Ana, I have High Blood pressure, and P Kidney Disease and I've been having a lot of spasms in my back and headaches, dizziness, and shortness of breath for the past 3 weeks and to top it off I got the flu yesterday. I do not know if to go to the doctor as I don't have a general doctor I go to. I've felt okay, then all of a sudden a feel sick then back to normal then again. I just don't know what to do, I've taken pills for the headache and it goes away for a couple of hours then it comes back, but I don't take any other medicine again because I don't want to be drinking a lot of pain medication. I mean I've been able to do my job and my regular stuff, even if I get dizzy and stuff like that but I just pretend am okay, because I have school and work and if I miss any days I won't get pay or a good grade. Should I go to the doctor/hospital.

Hi Ana,

Yes you should go to ER for a visit, because you have renal disease and hypertension which are related to each other. A complete check up should be done.

You are also right you shouldn't take a lot of pain pills because they can worse the renal disease and hypertension.

I hope that i answered your query!

p.s. If you have any other concern don't hesitate to write me back.
