A member asked:
Can uti (kidney) infection cause heart pain?? even worse can it cause one to have a heart attack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: An infection causes the body to work harder. The temperature changes, the blood cells multiple. The extra effort is stressing the body. Release of cortisol . You are 26 and a male therefore the chances of a heart attack are less. A UTI in a male is usually a sexually transmitted disease at your age. Consult a doctor for best treatment, labs, and c and s of urine.
