If you see these 6 symptoms at night, understand that your kidney is damaged. Pay attention to the signs seen during sleep and contact your doctor immediately.

When we all go to bed at night after a tiring day, we hope to sleep peacefully. But what if our sleep itself is giving us indications of our biggest illness? Your kidneys, which silently work to keep the body clean, start failing, and the first signs of this are seen at night.

1 /6

Frequent urination at night: Going to the bathroom frequently at night is not normal. If you are getting up to urinate every two-three hours, then this can be a clear sign that your kidneys are losing their filtering power.

2 /6

Swollen ankles and feet: When you wake up after sleep and find that your feet are swollen, be alert. When the kidneys are unable to remove water properly, fluid starts accumulating in the body, especially in the legs.

3 /6

Feeling restless and unable to sleep throughout the night: If you have to keep changing sides at night, keep waking up, or feel a strange discomfort in your body, then this could be a sign of a problem in the nerves related to the kidney.

4 /6

Shortness of breath or tightness in the chest: When the kidneys fail, fluid can accumulate in the body, which can reach the lungs. This is more noticeable during sleep. Shortness of breath, especially when lying down, is a warning signal.

5 /6

Frequent muscle cramps during sleep: Stiffness or sudden jerks in the muscles while sleeping may not be just due to fatigue. It may be a sign of calcium and electrolyte imbalance, which is caused by kidney failure.

6 /6

Fatigue and heaviness in the head: If even after a full night's sleep, you feel heaviness in your head as soon as you wake up in the morning, and feel tired and lethargic throughout the day, then this is a signal that your kidneys are not able to remove toxins from the body.
