I am worried. I am 26 on HBP meds and even tho my BP is normal on the meds. They want to do Kidney Ultrasound.?

Question by : I am worried. I am 26 on HBP meds and even tho my BP is normal on the meds. They want to do Kidney Ultrasound.?
I am worried out of my mind. I have been on the hydroclorothizide for about 3-4 years now and never heard of needing any ultrasound or checkup on my kidney. What does this mean? Do i have kidney failure? am i going to need surgery or a kidney transplant? I am so worried that something might seriously be wrong with me. I am trying to think positive, but its so hard. I also have PCOS which is polycycstic ovary sydrome. I take birth control to regulate my cycle. Should i be worried? If i had any serious problems, wouldn’t i have known by now. I eat TONS of salt.. well usually do. My BP only rises when i eat crazy amounts of sodium. Lunch meat, frozen meals, and chips, etc. are snacks that i munch throughout the day. I am a pickle addict. I can eat a full jar of spears in 20 mins. I crave sodium and i am worried about my health. A pickle shouldn’t be a meal. Its a condiment. Please help. :(

I would try to remain calm until after the testing, and yes I know that is more difficult to do than to tell someone to do. With some medications complications may come from long term use. HCTZ (hydrochlorothiazide) is on the list of follow up drugs. (I will cite a web address for your HCTZ if you are curious to read up on it). I am sure it is terrifying to think something is wrong with your kidneys, but it may be strictly precautionary.

You mention that you know you have to watch your sodium, and you are correct. But, you have to watch it for more reasons than your Hypertension (HBP). By eating too much sodium in your diet you are also at risk for dehydration, which can affect your kidneys as well.

Are you having any unusual symptoms?

    You are too young to have high blood pressure and one of the causes is renal artery stenosis. The renal arteries carry the blood supply to your kidneys. If they are small or narrowed, it can cause high blood pressure. They are doing the ultrasound to see if is the case with you. Then your doctors can better treat your HBP. As far as your diet goes…..its not good. You are going to eat yourself to kidney disease and eventually failure and you will have to go on dialysis. You definitely DON’T want that. Eating less carbs, more protein and fat will help with the PCOS. Research this online, be informed about your health, its the only way that you can have control over your health and your future…………Good Luck…….
