Hi, i am a long time sufferer of anxiety, had a number of cunselling sessions and done cbt twice. Recently i had some blood results vome back my kidney function is slightly low and need more blood tests. I had about 30 mins sleep last night due to worrying and over thinking about it.
Yes. It's honestly okay joanne23. Kidney function 'slightly low' is fine. The body seldom runs as a perfect machine and so just go through with the tests, it's routine, and you'll be fine you'll see. Different kinds of teas are good for sleeping as well.
Sorry, I meant 'joanne230682'.
Hi there, sorry to hear about your worrying results. For anxiety prone people, results like this can seem like the end of the world. I think if there was something major wrong, then the results would've been more than slightly low. It's good it's being investigated, and surely it's worth looking into, but it's most likely nothing serious.
I have no medical training, but I've known some people with kidney issues. I don't know your age, or health history, but there are tons of minor things that can cause a slightly low reading. I'm guessing it was your glomerular filtration rate that is of a slight concern. It might comfort you to know that there's a really big gap between normal/slightly low GFR readings, and what you'd see associated with a severe issue.
Thank you for you replys everyone. I am focusing on my holiday and reminding myself its nothing serious and being monitored to be safe.
