Can UTI Cause Nausea, Shortness Of Breath And Body Ache?
Hello I have been feeling really funny the last two days. Yesterday the pain started in my back and in my stomach. It then turned into nausea and left me feeling really wierd. By about 6:00pm my whole body was aching, I was having shortness of breath (having to take deep breaths to get adequate air), and still very nauseated. I was also lightheaded and was having a headache. I went to the ER. They ran urine samples and blood tests. They said my labs were clear, but they did find a small UTI. What is wrong with me?

Hello,
The urinary tract infection can be causing these symptoms.
I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.
I also recommend using a cycle of antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin to treat the infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
