I had a UTI. that just went away on it's own,but I think it's where my kidney infection came from. I'm scared because when I breath in my upper left side of my chest hurts and my brain feels like it's swollen or something. I can't move to quick or my head starts pounding really bad it sto's me in my tracks. I have lost over 20 lbs in a month I have no appitite I just feel horrible. why do you think I feel this bad. Iv'e been drinking just water for 3 days now. I feel a little better than I wake up feeling really bad again.

Kidney infection.
Hello CANDICE 7
You say you had a UTI, and it went on it's own, how did you know you had an infection, did you have a urine test done ? you also say you had a kidney infection which i assume you had tests done for that. The headache maybe because you still have a temperature and infection, Have you seen your Dr.
did your doc do an ultra sound scan of your kidney and found kidney is damaged , if not done I am unable to comment , hope u will write me back
my gfr fell from 51 to 25, over 5 years , yet more to talk .can u write me back
hope you will recover soon
Candice7 .. you really need to seek medical advice. All your symptoms could be due to a urine infection that has been left untreated. Surely feeling so ill and losing all that weight must merit a doctors visit . Ignoring symptoms is not advisable ..even if you don't like doctors .. now is the time to go.. please. Good luck and let us know how you get on.
Candice, can you please provide some more information, for example when you say that you had a UTI that just "went away", does that mean that you didn't take a urine sample to your Dr to confirm the UTI, or what type of infection it was. Whatever is going on, it really does sound as though there is some sort of infection or inflammation in your body to cause the symptoms you are experiencing. Do please see a Dr as soon as possible before things get worse and more difficult to treat. I've just had back-to-back different UTIs plus an infection that landed me in hospital, and my UTI started off as a silent one so I am speaking from personal experience. Do act now to get yourself better and do come back and let us know how you get on.
go to see gp ..again sounds like you need medication like yesterday...hope all goes ok...
