Pain in side of waist, high blood pressure. UTI.

Resolved Question:

I'm 31 years old and I'm having a little pain on one side like toward the back on my mid waist I think its around my kidneys. I was told at the hospital that I have a uti, I was prescribed antibiotic for my uti, I also have high blood pressure that its under control with atenolol. My lab works are attached so you can review, but I was ready that greater than 60 gfr does not mean that my kidney are working properly, the gfr needs to be greater than 90. My creatinine is 0.53 a little low but its not high,will I have a possibility to have stage 1 or 2 of kidney disease. The lab work was done at a hospital.

Patient replied :

I was on and off on minocycline for acne but I stopped that way before the symptoms started and I am taking flexeril 10 mg for migraines but I have never had these symptoms before with the migraine episode. Do you suggest I get tested for phechromocytoma and carcinoid or not, is it necessary. I'm not taking any other meds than the flexeril. I don't drink, no smoke. Nothing else that I can associated my symptoms too. Did u see my lab work that I send to you?

Ya, I did see your lab work. Its all fine.
I don't think you have either pheochromocytoma or carcinoid. Your reports are not suggestive of either.
If your periods are irregular, early menopause is a possibility. You can check your FSH at Day 2 of your cycles. If its high, it may suggest a peri-menopausal period. However just treating the symptoms should help. Sometimes migraine can come with such symptoms.
Feel free to discuss further,
Regards.

It is difficult to explain, such changes only on your face. Do check for early menopause with FSH. and consult a neurologist for an atypical migraine/autonomic dysfunction.
