4th time I post. need any input please.

I really need some input from some people & M.D.s.
I`ve been having kidney pain on both sides radiating downward. Also alot of pressure on both sides. I have been taking "Lasix" everyday for a while now. Without it the pain becomes unbearable. Also without the Lasix my heartrate is pretty high. When I drink anything containing caffeine or eat anything containing salt the pressure in my kidney becomes worse. I hope this time somebody will give me their opinion. I am so desperate. Please, please help. Anyone?

I am a bit rusty but lasix is a presribed diuretic?  Why are you ingesting salt and caffiene?  Go see the doctor that prescribed the medicine!

You should get a doctor to examine your kidneys directly.  I suspect this could be kidney stones.  It can cause severe pain in exactly the way you describe.  Since it is very painful you may need them to be broken up.  High frequency sound waves can usually break them up, and a doctor can help with that.

Some symptoms of kidney stones are bleeding while urinating, upset stomach, and trouble with acidic or salty foods (which is exactly as you describe).

I doubt this is anything sexually related.
