Kidney cysts

I was diagnosed for simple cysts on both kidneys (6 on one and 7 on the other), These were found during routine xray and subsequent CAT scan. I have been getting ct scans every year. While playing golf I noted a discomfort (slight pain) in my right side Back and front. I have also been having indigestion, slight nasuea,  and some chest pains which seem like gas pains. Recent CT scan showed that some Cysts had bled and my uroligist said it all might be because of the bleeding cyst and changed my next CT to 6 months. Could this cause all these problems? I decided to see my Gastro guy and am planning on having a GI series upper and lower. Am I over reacting? The symtoms have been going on now for around 2 weeks. I also have IBS that normally does not cause any symtoms.

I'm 59. CT scan only way to tell what cysts are doing I think.
