Hello
Protein +++ in urine = possible kidney relapse (especially with past nephrotic syndrome) 🚩 Severe acid reflux + chest/throat pain + wheezing = needs proper medical treatment Homeopathy is NOT enough for this
See a physician / nephrologist urgently
Tests needed: urine protein, blood creatinine, serum albumin
Start proper acid-reflux medicine (PPI) as advised by doctor
🛑Go to ER if chest pain, breathlessness, swelling, or low urine output.
I trust this helps Thank you!
Hello Mishal, thank you for sharing your concern. Protein +++ in urine is not normal, and you previously had nephrotic syndrome. It may suggest a possible relapse or active kidney problem and should be evaluated urgently by a physician or nephrologist.
Your symptoms of chest/throat pain, wheezing, nausea, tiredness, and runny nose may be due to severe acid reflux, respiratory infection, or allergy, but they need proper clinical examination to rule out complications, and that too will be done by the Physician/Nephrologist.
What you should do immediately: Consult a physician/nephrologist as soon as possible. Repeat urine routine and urine protein (24-hour protein or spot protein/creatinine ratio). Blood tests: serum creatinine, urea, albumin, lipid profile. Check blood pressure and body swelling (face/legs).
If you notice swelling of face or legs, reduced urine output, severe chest pain, or breathing difficulty, seek urgent medical care.
Homeopathic treatment alone is not sufficient when there is heavy protein in urine; proper medical evaluation is necessary to prevent kidney damage.
Feel free to reach out again.

Hello Mishal Thank you for sharing these details. You’re describing several important symptoms: protein+++ in urine, severe wheezing, throat and chest pain, nausea, tiredness, and a runny nose, along with a history of acid reflux and esophageal issues. You’re also currently on homeopathic treatment.
Here’s what stands out and why it’s important: 1. Protein+++ in urine: This is a significant finding. High levels of protein in urine can indicate kidney involvement, which can be serious—especially if you’re also feeling tired, nauseous, and unwell. 2. Severe wheezing and chest/throat pain: These symptoms could point to a respiratory infection, asthma flare, or even something more serious, especially with your history of acid reflux (which can sometimes worsen breathing issues). 3. Combination of symptoms: When you have kidney findings (proteinuria), respiratory symptoms, and systemic symptoms (tiredness, nausea), it’s important to get a thorough evaluation quickly.
What you should do next: - See a doctor urgently (preferably a physician or internal medicine specialist): You need a proper assessment, including blood tests (kidney function, infection markers), urine tests, and possibly a chest X-ray or other investigations. - Don’t rely only on homeopathic treatment right now: Your symptoms and urine findings need medical attention to rule out serious conditions like kidney disease, infections, or complications from acid reflux. - If you develop shortness of breath, swelling, decreased urine output, or worsening chest pain, seek emergency care immediately.
Thank you and get well soon
Your symptoms are concerning and need urgent medical evaluation, especially because you have a history of nephrotic syndrome and now your urine report shows protein +++ (heavy proteinuria).
This level of protein in urine is not normal and may indicate:
Relapse of nephrotic syndrome
Kidney inflammation or kidney damage
Infection affecting kidneys
Or another kidney disorder
Your other symptoms — chest pain, wheezing, throat discomfort, nausea, tiredness, runny nose — may be due to:
Respiratory infection
Acid reflux/oesophageal irritation
Or fluid overload from kidney problems (can cause breathing issues)
But protein +++ with kidney history is the most serious red flag here.
A urine report showing protein+++ indicates a significant amount of protein in the urine, which can result from several underlying issues including kidney damage, high blood pressure, or other systemic conditions. Coupled with your symptoms—wheezing, severe throat pain, chest pain, nausea, tiredness, and runny nose—this represents a matter that should be evaluated thoroughly and promptly. The history of acid reflux and esophageal issues, especially if they are still managed with homeopathic treatments rather than conventional medical approaches, may complicate the case and potentially miss critical insights or treatments. First, it is important to address the specific symptoms you’ve mentioned. For the wheezing, and chest pain, these could be related to your acid reflux, as reflux can sometimes lead to respiratory issues like asthma or mimic heart conditions; however, they could also signify other concerns such as infections or cardiovascular problems. Given the range of symptoms and the urine protein level, it would be prudent to have a comprehensive clinical evaluation. This should include blood tests to assess kidney function, liver enzymes, complete blood count, and possibly a chest X-ray or CT scan to address respiratory concerns. Depending on these findings, a referral to specialists such as a nephrologist for the kidney issues or a gastroenterologist for persistent esophageal problems may be warranted. In the meantime, continue with recommended dietary changes for acid reflux, like avoiding spicy foods, large meals late at night, and positioning the head of your bed higher. Lifestyle modifications can also support better overall health outcomes, aiding in symptom management while awaiting further diagnoses. If you experience severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, or any other acute symptoms, seek medical attention immediately, as these could be signs of a serious condition. Regular follow-up with your health provider is critical to managing and reassessing your treatment plan.
