When it rains, it pours new symptoms

Hello all.  Hoping someone can shed some light on this.  Please be warned, I am laying things out straight.  I don't have it in me to find flowery language to use instead of being uncouth.  Since Friday, I have felt very odd.  It started with Friday morning's bathroom visit.  I had been having a gradual change in my pee for almost a week now.  Just in the morning, I would have a thicker urine, not cloudy, not darker.  Friday, my pee was so cloudy that I couldn't see the bottom of the tank.  It was just first thing in the morning, now, it lasts most of the day.  Next fun began in Saturday morning....I woke up around 4am with the start of extremely flaky bowel movements.  Then my blood pressure and heart rate was all over the place.  Around supper last night I felt very thirsty and hungry and had a great night, just like someone flipped a switch.  This morning I woke up very tired and off.   Since mid morning, I have had the itchiest palms and soles of my feet I have ever experienced.  Nothing I can do will take it away.  Now, blood pressure and heart rate out of wack again, but worse than yesterday.  I had another lovely time in the bathroom, which I would've bet my entire savings on that I didn't have anything left after yesterday.  I also have some low back pain.  On the bright side...after 6 times of cloudy, I have clear pee again.  I can't understand how I could possibly have cloudy urine considering the amount of water I drink a day and night.  I don't have a fever, no sweats, but something isn't right.  I see my new cardiologist tomorrow morning first thing.  It is my first time with a cardiologist.  While I will tell him about my weekend, I am very doubtful that he will be that concerned.  In the afternoon, I am seeing my oral surgeon in hopes that he can fix my glands or punt me to someone who can.  If anyone can shed some light, please share!

Thanks, Persephone

Hi Persephone  :)

I'm sorry - I have no answers but I think I would want to run it past a doctor. I would want to check out kidney function. Do your hands or feet have any little tiny blisters o them? There is an eczema which can cause hands and feet to itch. There is also a virus called human foot and mouth disease (NOT the same as cattle) which can cause blisters and itching.

Maybe you cardiologist can shed some light. I hope you get it checked further.

Take care - Scottie  :)
