What causes palpitations, sickness, diarrhea with exhaustion and back pain?
Patient: I have a duplex kidney on the right..I've been ill for 3 months, having palpations, sickness, diarhhea, exhaustion, lower back pain for a few years but worse for last 9mths.. hardly eating, lost a stone. my doc put it down to anxiety.but I ended up feeling very ill one night went to A&E, showing every urine test positive, blood, white cells etc..now waiting to see specialist...do you think it's more likely to be my kidneys ot anxiety? Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  It's definitely not just anxiety. We need to rule out urinary infection as you have duplex kidney and more prone to get infected. Have you got your thyroid and blood sugar checked? If there are wbcs in urine get your urine culture and next to take antibiotics.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
