Hi.. I feel as if I am floating. I have polycystic kidney syndrome and I am 30 years old. I checked my BP 2 weeks back and was told that I need to take some BP medicine. Even after taking that, this has not reduced. Please help me understand what exactly I am going through?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, let me help relieve your anxiety. Polycystic kidneys are a hereditary condition of the kidneys, where the kidneys are enlarged, with multiple fluid filled swellings called cysts. The cysts are all of different sizes and easily diagnosed on an ultrasound or CT scan of abdomen. This is commonly associated with high B.P. In that case, you need to test for blood routine, urea,creatinine, sugar,and electrolytes. An ECG and chest X-ray is needed, to see the physician or cardiologist. B.P. medication will be gradually increased, till under control. If the kidneys are quite enlarged, it may give a floating feeling. If you've any other doubt, you may send it as a direct question to me. Chat Doctor.  Manga.
