“Possible UTI?”
The next day I still had these symptoms and felt fatigued so I decided to get checked at an urgent care. They did a physical, ekg, vital test (check vitals sitting, standing, laying down), and a urine test. Everything was fine except a small amount of blood in my urine (Microscopic hematuria (R31.29)) and was negative for a UTI (Culture). The DR said it’s nothing to worry about and said I probably have a respiratory infection.
The entire week I felt fatigued, nauseous, chills with my temperature feeling off (I had no actual fever), blurred vision, lightheadedness, frequent urination, a weird symptom where I would feel warmth through my body and would feel week after, (I have some health anxiety that I feel made everything worse). I would also wake up drenched in sweat. I did an online visit and they prescribed me amoxicillin in case I did have a UTI. The chills stopped about 2 days after but I still had blurred vision and all of the other symptoms.
I got checked again at the ER the following weekend and they did chest x-rays, CBC, glucose test, another ekg. Everything was fine and said I probably have an upper respiratory infection as well. Another week goes by and I still have all theses symptoms plus lower back pain that seems new. I am really hoping I can feel better since I do not have health insurance and all of these tests cost me $3,000 out of pocket. I do just generally feel Ill, and the blurred vision doesn’t seem to go away.
Active symptoms:
Blurred Vision
Random warmth feeling (only about every 3 days)
Lightheaded
Frequent urination
I have actively been checking blood sugar, blood pressure, heart rate, and using the Apple Watch for when I am sleeping to monitor heart rate, everything seems normal.
No medications other than amoxicillin
