Night time urination- worried its Kidneys

[sunflower7]

I have been urinating a lot at night and also have a dry/metallic mouth and a sore lower back. I'm worried as it says on google this can be a sign of kidney problems. I'm out of my mind with worry. I had a liver/kidney function test about 10 weeks ago which was normal but am worried they have started failing since :-(.

I highly doubt that your kidneys would have started failing that recently for no apparent reason, that doesn't make much sense. It's more likely to be something totally harmless like drinking too much before bedtime or a little UTI irritation.

If these are symptoms that you've not experienced before and they're worrying you then it's really your doctor that you need to talk to.

Thanks, I've seen my Doctor who said my urine is clear. I'm so worried as all my symptoms point to kidney problems :-(. Last night I tried drinking just a small water before bed but was still up about 4 times to pee :-(

If your doctor had checked you out and given you the all clear, then you need to trust him.

It might be time to consider working on your anxiety levels? You know anxiety can cause frequent urination too?

I use to have this attacks one in 3 to 6 months ,did not bother me at all . had blood test 5 years ago come back showing just low in sugar in my blood ( hipoglecimia) any the doctor at time said just eat more sugary stuff no concerns. now I had another full blood test 2 months ago , come back normal . what concerns me most and worried me so much is I am getting this attacks every day it wont happen when I am sleep it strike only when I start my daily life even thou I eat in the morning/lunch/dinner.. I seen my doctor twice last week and this week even went to hospital , had ecg normal , BP normal . I am going insane , now cant even go out worrying it might strike again . I am taking sertraline 200 mg a day , propranolol 40mg , some times diazzipam when needed . when this so called hipoglicimia attacks strikes it triggers a full panic attack and anxiety.

Zac it would be a good idea to make a new post of your own for this, so that more people will see it and reply to you. Go out into the main health anxiety forum and create a new post with this same information :)

Never trust Dr Google... seriously, don't do it! I do it too, it's horrible... Google, webmd... horrid places to self diagnose yourself. Maybe it's something you ate, getting a cold or even hormones... but I doubt your in any danger. Take it from someone who has cardiophobia, agoraphobia, health anxiety and severe panic disorder... your fine. ♥God bless

My anxiety started with kidney concerns for reasons that I won't go into in this thread. Anyway, people don't usually just get kidney failure, it is usually as a result of diabetes or high blood pressure or old age.

I would take your perfectly fine blood test and accept that your kidneys are fine.

Anxiety makes you pee more, anxiety can give you a dry mouth and anxiety can cause muscle tension which can lead to pain........
Your tests have come back clearly. It is way more likely to be anxiety than anything 'serious'.

I always need a wee during the night, and have bad lower back pain. My kidneys are okay (i hope!) I don't think its ananything to worry about.

Besides that.google says these are the symptoms of being pregnant too. Dont let google diagnose you, its killed me off plenty of times and many others on here, yet we're.here still :)
