Irregular bp. Smaller kidney

[Weirdperson]

I am 18, male. I don't take meds, drugs, substance, caffeine, alcohol and currently relaxed since Im on vacation. I eat well and stay hydrated and make sure results are more or less consistent.

My bp is 110/75 when relaxed, slightly anxious 128 and anxious 130-140. When I lie down its 90/50 when I stand its 95/65 and my pulse goes to 140bpm, my pulse is around 100bpm most of the time, but when my bp is 128bp it goes to 120bpm and when anxious it is 130-150bpm my pulse drops to 70bpm before bed. I am a fit guy who cycles, runs, swims and does 12 pull ups per rep, but struggle to put on weight even when I eat around 4000kcal 17bmi but quite tall, I have a weaker kidney from birth but I have no anemia or problems in blood test. When I went to doctor my pulse was 150bpm and I did an ECG and there were no arrhythmia just sinusal tachycardia. My resting heart rate has increased gradually from 80 to 100 in 6 months.

I have had eye problem for 4 months+ a pressure under my eye, the ophthalmologist couldn't find an issue, I sometimes loose vision in one eye, I don't lose vision but the colours change to brown and I see complex patterns all over visual field that are multicoloured but not like migraine. It happens sporadically around 0-3x a year with first happening at 15. It resolves in 5 minutes. I get similar thing when I stand up fast, however this is in both eyes. I always saw spots in my vision as a kid (constant ones) like high iso camera but in this year the sky is no longer as blue as it used to be. Now it has sparkles and small flashes like lightning. When I look at squares they move around and flash. The closest thing I could find was VS, its not floaters. I get migraines like my brother and father ever since I was a kid. In separate occasions I get a booof sound in one ear and loose my hearing and then It comes back.

The only medical condition anyone in my family has is congenital heart disorder asd that my brother was diagnosed at 24.

I think it's all related. I have booked appointment GP. It takes a while tho. I used to have a doctor that waited till I relaxed and said I was fine, the other doctor took one reading and said I needed Ramipril, thats ok if I need it fine, I'm not against it, but since my bp is very often 110 I told her that I probably wouldn't need it so they took me off it when I showed the BP readings. I never ended up taking it.

I’m not a doctor, and you will need blood test results for a diagnosis, but you may want to pop over to the thyroid forum on HU and have a read. I’m not saying it’s related, but worth a look.

When is your doc appointment? Can you get it moved closer?

I thought it could be related to thyroid, There is only one way to find out. I prefer it if the doctor reaches that conclusion tho, as it might be rude. Hopefully my doctor can check that out. It's in a few weeks. It's not a problem since I'm not ill, I just have weird visual things.

You are 18 years old. Most 18 year olds don’t even know they have a blood pressure. Your weird visual things could be ocular migraines. I have them and trust me they won’t kill you, I am 74 and living my life. You are 18. Stop worrying and go live life.

Given the visual thing is constant (blue sky) I don't think its a migraine but thanks for your insight. When my colour vision goes completely brown and see patterns it comes on suddenly in 2 seconds and gets better in 5 min ,same with hearing. Can't find anything that is similar online so I wrote this to see if anyone could relate.

I am using it since august 2014 .

Pls go to internet and search for ramiperil side effects you find good info from decent sites

I would not worry about offending a doc. You are advocating for your self. You might say, to honor your concern of offending, “Someone (on a health forum that I respect) encouraged me to look into the possibility this could be rooted in thyroid. What are your thoughts doc?”

Always advocate for yourself. Always.

If I were you, I'd try to get appointments with some specialists, such as a cardiologist. neurologist as well as an endocrinologist. Good luck and I wish you the best in trying to figure out what is going on with your health issues. Your problems appear to fall beyond the scope of your general practioner.

I find your comment interesting that one kidney is weaker than the other - maybe your kidneys don't mirror each in size (common) or perhaps one has a deformity, etc. In any case, It's a wonderful thing that your kidney function is good! Re your eyesight and hearing, perhaps it would be good to rule out autoimmune conditions (optic neuritis, etc.) via your eye and hearing doctors. Those are generally accompanied by inflammation and pain, so it's probably not that. I trust a "full" blood panel will give you direction.

Yeah it's deformed I think. I think it does 10%. They were planning to take it out but my parents opted to leave it in since it was a big operation. I wonder what that would happen if it was taken out.
