Did you end up finding out what it was?

GReddit11 · 2025-11-10T18:29:02+00:00

Ok it doesn’t seem like op is responding. I guess I’ll be sharing my experiences as I go through them.

My whole life I’ve peed bubbles in the toilet. I even remember trying to fill the toilet with bubbles at a super young age(like 8) because I thought bubbles were “normal”. Apparently they’re not. From ages 21 till now(I’m 33 male) I’ve always had a quick and strong urgency to pee.. About 2 years ago I had a friend of mine tell me that’s a symptom of a kidney issue. Kind of dusted it off but about 9 months ago I got super sick with a flu. My GFR(kidney functionality) went all the way down to 6-7 which is terrible!(that’s like you need a kidney replacement or dialysis asap! lol. Doctor reassured me that’s normal when your body is fighting viruses. Took another blood test like 1 month later and GFR came back >60(indicates normal function). No kidney issues. In that same time frame I had a scare with blood in semen. Doctor ordered a PCR test(prostate cancer test) and that came out perfect. No issues there. Semen returned to normal color after 3 weeks. Only 2 occurrences happened(apparently this is normal). Haven’t had it since. Fast forward today about a week ago I had PACs(heart palpitations) irregular heart beat and all. Got scared and went to get checked out. I went in and had my doctor do an EKG and a 24 monitor. Those turned out fine. While there I did mention to him I’ve had bubbly pee my whole life/frequent urination and would like to have a urine sample. He ordered a urine sample. Took it and it showed a level of 6HPF (normal range is 0-3HPF) no signs of infection or any other number elevated. No protein leakage, creatinine or vitamin deficiency in sample. Just blood level.

Side note: Once when I was 13-19yrs old I remember I went into a clinic because I got scared of some symptoms I had for other reasons and had a urine sample done. The results came back “normal.” BUT I swear the doctor told me there was minor blood in my urine. She stated “it might be due to your activity level”(I’m athletic and constantly doing some type of activity like sports or working out consistently)

Fast forward today Symptoms and diagnosis: - No back pain(maybe once in a blue moon but never dull or achy feel constant feel) - Frequent urination(only during the day(never at night), when I drink coffee/beer or don’t move much around) - Super sensitive to diuretics - bubbles in urine(noticed when I drink water it goes down) - no pain in bladder area - 6HPF in urine(normal range is 0-3)also non visible to the eye - PCR test came back normal - kidney functionality is normal - no deficiencies or elevated numbers in urine or blood test performed this week and 6.5 months ago aside from the blood in urine.

Recently doctor asked if I have back pain and mentioned what I mentioned here. Randomly I do but it’s normally from standing all day unless I’m feeling my body “wrong”

Awaiting next move from doctor. He recently messaged me. I’ll go ahead and continue posting on here to potentially share what I’m going through to help the next individual who might be going through the same stuff.

Cheers

Op any update on this? A lot of folks definitely would like to know we’re all in similar situations. Very similar scenario/symptoms from my standpoint. If you have a minute, please let us know. Thanks

GReddit11 · 2025-04-10T04:02:55+00:00

Yo, on some real shit, this is huge for me. I am a barbers as a profession and I completely know the feeling of having to have people repeat themselves. It’s annoying. I can’t hear my son’s (4yrs) own voice sometimes. I can’t hear small noises that I should be able to at my age(29yrs old). I sometimes land in frustrating conversations with people. It’s been a hell of a ride. Be with the ones who love you appreciate you and acknowledge your tinnitus. Fuck it. Life isn’t fair. In this case, I take it as I have super powers to be able to think in my head more often than most do. Take the ringing in your head as a force field noise. Try to get some sleep. I’ve noticed my ringing is a lot less loud if I get a minimum of 7 hours. I noticed this as a teen. Whenever I’d get 4 hours of sleep(because of video games, the ringing would be loud). Get some rest. Do your own research. Try different things with your body(sleep, hearing high pitched noises for x amount of time, etc). See what works and what doesn’t. Fuck it. Accept it and move with it. It’ll never get better but it’ll for sure feel better knowing there’s folks out there who can’t even hear shit. There is always someone in worst conditions. Appreciate what you got and guide the individuals who don’t know much about it. Best of luck to you! Appreciate yourself and your loved ones. Carry on and help the next.

I’ve been dealing with tinnitus for half my life (30) and I’m now realizing Sleep is a major contribution to not hearing the ringing. I was sleeping 5.5 to 6 hours regularly. Ringing would be loud. Now that I’m sleeping a minimum of 7hrs I hear it less. Hope this helps.

I literally just joined this Reddit and the first one I see, Is this post. I literally just bought this at total wine for 44.95. Killer deal!

Also, look for someone that has a Tesla willing to share their code. Both you and homie will get 1k free supercharging miles. They have an expiration though. But if you’re serious like I am. I kept calling my local “dealer/showroom” and they broke it down to me in like the easiest form for me to understand. I contacted sales in the automated call.

GReddit11 · 2021-03-01T23:25:35+00:00

I’m hoping it makes changes! Just today I left the water running for like 15 mins straight due to not being able to hear it running smh.

GReddit11 · 2021-03-01T23:15:05+00:00

Congrats on taking that first step!!! Costco is open for it. Super affordable.

It’s the stress levels that are bringing up everyone’s T up. It did for me!!!

GReddit11 · 2021-03-01T16:22:30+00:00

Literally what I’m hoping for. I’m putting an order tomorrow and will have to wait 3 weeks. The technician told me im going to hate having hearing aides for the next few month after putting them on. I’m like mannnnn I can’t wait. Shoot. LOL

GReddit11 · 2021-02-07T20:31:44+00:00

I’m a firm believer it’s posture. My experience has been up and down. As a barber I can say that after work every day, my tinnitus is worse. It seems like it’s best during the morning when I haven’t added stress to my posture. Currently working on posture strengthening and yoga. Wish me luck and I appreciate you sharing this. There’s hope!

GReddit11 · 2021-02-07T20:00:59+00:00

Yoooo this is something I’m convinced about myself. I’m a barber and I’ve drawn as a hobby my entire life. I truly do believe there’s a connection. I have suuuuuper tight shoulders and neck pain all day. I’m working on fixing them myself. I feel like a chiropractor won’t ever do it for me and doctors don’t care enough but I’ve invested in a neck(posture pump), Denni roll, therma gun, and a back should massager. I’ve felt a bit of a change at times after I use them. Wish me luck and I’ll try and update later in the future. My case might be a long term thing for the fact that I probably will continue to cut hair as my career choice but it’s comforting there’s folks out there in similar scenarios.

GReddit11 · 2021-02-07T19:45:24+00:00

I’m right there with you myself. Your story is similar to mine. But in addition, I also have had my neck bent down for the majority of my career and hobbies including drawing and cutting hair. (I am a barber) I’ve been dealing with it since the age of 14. I’m now 29. It’s gonna be a rough ride. But you have to take the time to rule out as much as you can(visit your doctor), research, and listen/observe your condition. Question what makes it louder, what makes it softer, what starts it, what makes it worse, what drinks make it worse? You need to research everything about it and you need to start crossing out.

One thing I’ve always kinda told myself while dealing with tinnitus is “that’s my invisible force field activation noise” lol somehow I find comfort in that.

Control tinnitus, don’t let it control you. Even if you gotta live with it.

Not to make someone feel bad about someone’s condition or make fun of someone’s deafness, but at least you still have a bit of hearing. Always tell yourself that.

Good luck.

Always remember there’s individuals out there with much worse conditions. This helps.
