Drinking Coffee, Alcohol, Lower Back Pain, Tingling Sensation At The Back Of Head, Probably Kidney Problems

When I drink coffee or alcohol my lower back begins to hurt a little and I get a tingly feeling in the back of my head. Does this mean something is wrong with my kidneys or am I overreacting?

Hi
Thanks for your query.
Your current symptoms do not suggest a kidney problem.
If you are really anxious you could do the following tests: Urine R/M, Blood urea and creatinine levels.
Hope this helps
Good luck.
