I have been having numbness and slight discomfort around the kidney area. Its usually during night time and it dissapears when I wake up have a pee and drink water.  I am on treatment for mild hypertension, taking one amilodipine 5mg pill daily. Should I have some concerns?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Your concern is understandable. Hope you're referring to the lower back portion of chest as kidney area. Many people refer to the scrotal area as kidney area, which is wrong. If there's pain in the kidney area, its safest to see your doctor /Urologist, who will examine the kidney area, and then suggest a urine routine test and an ultrasound scan of the abdomen and pelvis. This will help to decide further treatment according to reports. Hope you have no more doubts.
