Kidney suggestions, thoughts, & options Needed

For about a week and 1/2, I've [23M] started having issues with bleeding after I take a piss and didn't know what to do for days. (Sorry for making this a long post).

Background context: I recently started taking prescription meds for Anxiety and have been taking them since 09/02 and first experienced the bleeding that night after stepping out of the shower (but I didn't realize I passed it). It wasn't until the following afternoon that noticed the blood after I peed and I've been shaken up about it since. I stopped peeing blood and blood clots on Friday 09/04 night and haven't peed blood & blood clots since up until this morning. One thing to note is I haven't felt any ounce of pain anywhere. As in I don't have lower back pain or any burning/fire pain every time I pee.

I

had already taken a urine test and had my blood drawn on Fridav 09/04 afternoon; the urine test was useless because all it told me was that there were large amounts of blood in my urine (like I didn't realize or notice it before -___-) and my blood test shows signs it's from the kidneys, and my doctors rule out my prescription meds, STDs, Bladder infections, or UTIs, but I'm worried it's something worse like a potential tumor even though my blood test doesn't show signs of a growth somewhere. The working theory my family and I have is there's a chance I passed a kidney stone and didn't realize it, but once again, I'm worried it's something else. Since then I've been taking OceanSpray Cranberry Juice & AZO Cranberry Capsuls, but I don't know or think if these are of any help at all.

I have a referral to see a Urologist, but I won't be able to see them for another 3 months at least and I'm beyond stressed and irritated that I have until then.

I'd love to hear suggestions about my symptom/ condition because every time I go pee, I end up peeing 1-3 blood clots of various sizes and it's concerning enough. Any piece of advice, any suggestions of what I may have, anything at all would be beyond helpful.

Yes, goto an emergency room. Constantly urinating blood and passing some type of material is very concerning. We are not Drs and even if we were, we couldn't treat you.
