19 year old worried about kidneys

[Yhhhjnn]

Hi all

19 year old male here. Basic story is a year ago, started getting type 1 diabetes symptoms, was convinced it was, wasn't. Also had some flank pain at points but didn't think about it. This turned into prostatitis symptoms, urininating frequently again but not urinating much each time. The last couple of days, the pretty much unquenchable thirst and increased urinary output has returned, as long as flank pain that doesn't feel muscular. Urine seems to be either really concentrated or really dilute. Went to hospital last night, no protein in urine or blood, no signs of infection, normal blood works although didn't see it. Slim fit male, although all blood pressure tests I've had have suggested high pressure. Anyone had a similar experience to this, I'd be so grateful

It sounds like you might just be dealing with anxiety. Stress can really give you some scary symptoms. I definitely urinate A LOT more when I'm anxious. If they didn't find any problems with your blood or urine, you're probably fine. And about the blood pressure, there's something called "white coat hypertension" which is just the sight of someone in a white coat (aka a doctor) will give a person high blood pressure. Get yourself a home blood pressure monitor and take it at home when you are relaxed. Mine is always higher (not high but higher) when I go to the doctor. When I'm home, it's SUPER low. Hope this helps.
