Is Fatigue, Lightheadedness, Shoulder Pain, Appetite Loss After Passing A Stone Normal?

My husband passed a kidney stone two days ago. He has been fatigued and light headed. Today began complaining of pain in his right shoulder area. He also did not have much of an appetite or motivation to do things he enjoys. His blood pressure was 168/100 at work today.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It is important to know the age of your husband to comment on his blood pressure. Any person over 70 years will have blood pressure up to 150/ 90 mm Hg. Therefore if his blood pressure is 168/ 100 mm Hg then he surely has hypertension and this requires attention. The light headedness and fatigue might be due to hypertension and also probably if your husband is recovering after passing the kidney stone.

Please provide him adequate amounts of fluids and juices so that any other smaller stone stuck any where along his urinary tract might be passed out. Medicines need to be given to control his blood pressure. If his blood pressure is consistently high then please discuss with his doctor and try and know if he is taking any medicines which might increase the blood pressure. Shoulder tip pain might be due to indigestion. Please do not worry.
