Back pain due to heart disease
Usually, a heart attack is characterized by chest pain.However, in some people, especially women, the symptoms can appear as pain in the upper back.
The pain is often described as pressure or tightness radiating to the chest, accompanied by shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea, or cold sweat.
This condition can occur together with chest pain, but there are also those who only feel pain in the back without any chest complaints at all.
Therefore, if pain in the upper back appears suddenly and is accompanied by other symptoms as above, you should immediately consult a doctor or the nearest health facility.
Back pain due to kidneys
The kidneys are located near the lower back, so pain in this organ is often mistaken for ordinary back pain.However, pain due to kidney problems is usually felt in the waist area, just below the ribs and above the pelvis and can radiate to the side or lower abdomen.
According to Healthline, kidney pain is generally only felt on one side of the body, although sometimes it can appear on both sides.Other symptoms that may accompany include fever, nausea, vomiting, pain when urinating, and changes in the color, smell, or clarity of urine.
Problems such as kidney stones, urinary tract infections, or chronic kidney disease can trigger this complaint.
If back pain is accompanied by symptoms such as shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea, or urination problems, don’t take it lightly.See a doctor immediately to determine the cause and prevent more serious conditions.
Back pain is common, but recognizing the patterns and symptoms that accompany it can be the key to detecting dangerous diseases early.
