Open Question: Are swelling of the tongue and muscle cramps signs of kidney failure?
Okay, I ask this because I am already aware that I have acute kidney failure and chronic kidney disease. I should go to my doctor but unfortunately am temporarily without health insurance. My kidneys are functioning at 28% as of August, i’m 23, usually one of the happiest and perkiest people you’ll meet, always wearing a smile, and have felt recently that i’m not myself. Here’s all the symptoms I’m USED to having:
Dizziness
Weakness
Swelling of the ankles
Headache
High Blood Pressure
Severe Back Pain
Foamy urine
Shortness of Breath
Heart Palpitations (not sure if it’s connected to the failure)
Here’s my new symptoms:
Insomnia
Depression
Swelling of the tongue
Joint cramps and pain
Swelling of the knees
Awful taste in the mouth
Frequent Urination
Severe lack of concentration
These may not even be symptoms but I am just curious as to what anyone can find to help me out. I appreciate the time you took to read this and look forward to serious answers that may help. I hope my function hasn’t dropped even lower already…
