cloudy urine?
I'm 17-years-old.
Last night, I noticed that my urine was cloudy. The next time I urinated, it was clear; same thing this morning. Tonight, though. I had another episode of cloudy urine. Again, the next time I urinated, it was clear. I drink plenty of gatorade (for the electrolytes) and keep myself hydrated. I take pills every day for my thyroid, but I can't remember ever having this urinary problem before; yesterday I also took amoxicillin before I went to the dentist (ASD and mitral valve repair at age 6). I've also had episodes of shortness of breath, but I also do suffer from panic attacks. Finally, I've felt a little dizzy today. Finally, I started my period today as well. I don't know if any of this information is even relevant, but I figured I should just put everything out to see if they are in some way related.

Hi,
It is best to stay calm now. The best thing to do is to have a urinalysis done . This will rule out any infection . Medications may darken your urine. A cloudy urine may suggest an infection but a urinalysis will be able to evaluate this best.The urinalysis will be best done after your period since this may alter urinalysis findings.
Take lots of water and eat well. Get some rest.When lying down,elevate your legs to improve circulation.This does not sound like an urgent matter. Observe your symptoms and get a consult when your period ends for a proper assessment.
