I had a kidney infection 3 months ago. I felt better for a while then it started up again. It strikes without warning and it hurts from my right side all the way around to my lower back. I feel nauseous and tired for an episode then it goes away again. This happens mainly at night but does it in the day periodically. I just hope I feel better soon.

My dad was taken to the hospital in an ambulance from his assisted living residence. The caregiver at the home stated my dad was walking down the hallway in his underwear not sure what he was doing. He then urinated on the hall carpet. When he gets to the hospital, he was diagnosed with a kidney infection.

I was told to drink a lot of water or else I would be on dialysis.

I am suffering from high blood pressure. I am on medication for that. Last week Monday around 12 noon, I suddenly felt terribly dizzy and sick with a throbbing head ache. I went to the doctor, who told me that my blood pressure dropped severely to 75/55 and that I must stop using my blood pressure medication for a while. Tuesday morning I woke up, still with the same dizziness and headache. I also had terrible lower back ache. I went back to the doctor, who then diagnosed me with kidney infection. He asked whether I had fever through the night, which I did. He gave me antibiotics and booked me off work for the day. Wednesday I still felt no better and decided to go back. He gave me pain medication as well as another bottle of antibiotics. The whole time I felt dizzy, terrible headache, backache, and tired.
