UTI or not?

I was walking outside yesterday and had a weird feeling like I needed to pee but it was more a ‘heavy’ feeling there. I had an hour’s journey and when I got to my friend’s I didn’t even go straight away (caught up in the hellos etc). Also had it a bit today. Worse when standing/walking. Doesn’t hurt to pee and not really going more than usual and I feel well.
I’m in peri and on ppi (maybe it’s the ppi, but am in process of weaning off).
Reading that GP dip tests aren’t reliable or i’d try to get an appt.

shall i just drink loads of water and hope for best/see how it is tmw? I’ve never had a uti before.

If it was a UTI it's likely that it would burn when you pee, or have a strong smell/look a bit clouded. From personal experience it feels like you need to pee ALL the time and is incredibly uncomfortable. Not everyone gets strong symptoms but i would defo just keep my water intake up. If you notice any other symptoms drop a sample in to the docs.
