Question: I have been known to suffer from anxiety and I can be called a hypochondriac. I have been under immense stress at work as well as at home and I'm hoping this "problem" is all in my head. About 6 months ago I had a complete physical done including urine test for kidney function etc, everything came back good. My blood pressure can run high but exercise and diet I have been keeping it around 125 over 80 lately. One day while at the grocery store I used their bp machine and it said it was 160 over 103! I panicked and rechecked it at home, while it was hi 140/90 it was no where near what the store said. Since then I have been worried my kidneys are damaged. I sometimes have bubbly urine which I heard could be result from kidney damage and I also have trouble sleeping. I'm a 35 yo male. My questions is: could my kidneys have gotten damaged to the point of leaking protein in just 6 months?! Thank you. BTW I've noticed when it sit to urinate I have almost zero bubbles.

Thank you Doctor it is much appreciated!
