Could the mild pain I have been feeling in both of my kidneys for the past month be caused by the many medications I take for my asthma (Montek AB, Formoflo, Asthalin), hives (Cetrizen), acid reflux (Esomac L, Nexpro, PAN D, Rantec, Ganaton Total, Domstal DT), and anxiety (Zeptol CR 200, Maxgalin 150mg, Zosert, Lonazep 1.5mg), and what is the best way to treat this pain?
Taking a large number of medications, especially overlapping acid reflux treatments like Nexpro (esomeprazole) and PAN D (pantoprazole), can sometimes place stress on your kidneys. To find the best treatment, please consult your doctor soon. They can order simple kidney function tests and help safely streamline your medications to reduce this heavy pill burden. For now, stay well-hydrated and avoid self-medicating with over-the-counter painkillers. Your doctor will help resolve this safely and comfortably.
