When i go from laying to sitting and sitting to standing my heart rate and blood pressure go way up. I just want to know so it takes some of the weight off from not knowing
It is possible. Any infection can play havoc with your body. Are you on antibiotics? The best thing to do is go to your doctor and be checked out completely. They may need to give you something stronger for the infection. Or they may find the infection spread or something else. Take it easy for a day or so and if you are still not feeling better, then call your doctor and just ask them.
Can a kidney infection cause high blood pressure and abnormal heart rate?

id see a qualified person straight away, but i’d say yes because the kidneys are responsible for fluid balance and both blood pressure and heart rate depends on fluid balance.

Any infection would cause a higher bp and make your heart go weird.. whenever I am sick my bp is higher.
If you are allready under doctors care, for the kidney infection, just give him a call with concerns..or call the advice nurse.. all sort of options to ease your mind.

Absolutely! the kidney regulates the amount of fluids in the body as well as filtering toxins.
When the kidney function is decreased the body will accumulate fluids that initially cause swelling in the extremities, and then begin to accumulate in the chest.
The extra volume of fluid means that you also have more blood in your system, causing a rise in pressure.
The kidney also filters out elements in the blood that can be toxic to the system if levels are too high. Potassium for example is needed in the body , but if the level is too high it causes abnormalities in the heart’s function.

Consult a physician immediately. The causes of this abnormal BP and Heart beat may for varied complications. It may not necessarily of Kidney Infection alone. Physician will diagnose
the exact nature of your ill health, after a thorough pathological examination and inquiry.

Many factors can affect blood pressure, including how much water and salt you have in your body, the condition of your kidneys, nervous system, or blood vessels, and the levels of different body hormones.
Kidney disease, including the following can cause high blood pressure:
* Glomerulonephritis (inflammation of kidneys)
* Kidney failure
* Renal artery stenosis
* Renal vascular obstruction or narrowing
When the kidney arteries become narrow, less blood flows to the kidneys. The kidneys mistakenly respond as if your blood pressure is low and give off hormones that tell the body to retain salt and water. This causes your blood pressure to rise.
Many different diseases can cause narrowing of the renal arteries. Hardening of the arteries from high cholesterol is one of the most common. Most patients have the typical risk factors for atherosclerosis, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
High blood pressure increases the heart’s workload, and over time, this can cause the heart muscle to thicken. As the heart pumps against elevated pressure in the blood vessels, the left ventricle becomes enlarged and the amount of blood pumped by the heart each minute (cardiac output) goes down. Without treatment, symptoms of congestive heart failure may develop.
Consult your doctor.
