A GFR of 68 is indicative of reduced kidney function, falling into the range that marks mild kidney damage. Considering your symptoms, like pain and swelling in the feet, its understandable to be concerned about your kidneys. With high blood pressure and high cholesterol for the past 15 yrs, there indeed could be some impact on your kidneys over time, as they are closely linked to the cardiovascular system.

First of all, it’s critical to discuss with your healthcare provider about these symptoms, as they might require immediate attention. A nephrologist could provide valuable insights into the extent of any kidney imbalance. Meanwhile, Ayurveda can serve as a supportive role in managing and potentially improving kidney function through dietary and lifestyle adjustments.

From an Ayurvedic standpoint, balancing your doshas, especially Vata and Kapha, can be beneficial given the edema and pain which are symptomatic of their imbalance. Begin by focusing on your diet; reduce intake of salty and spicy foods which can aggravate these doshas. Incorporate foods that are easily digestible, such as cooked vegetables, soups, and shedrow mung dal – these are all gentle on the kidneys.

Herbs like Punarnava and Gokshura are known in Ayurveda for supporting kidney health and reducing swelling. They can be taken in the form of a supplement or decoction, ideally after consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure suitability given your existing medications.

Be mindful with your daily water intake. It’s a tricky balance because while hydration is vital, excess water can exacerbate swelling. Warm water can help with digestion and may aid in managing Vata.

In terms of lifestyle, gentle morning walks or yoga can help improve circulation and aid in managing blood pressure and cholesterol — though make sure to pace yourself and avoid stress to the joints and muscles.

Again, these steps are supportive; engaging with your medical doctor for regular check-ups and monitoring your blood pressure, cholesterol, and kidney function is absolutely indispensable to manage your symptoms effectively and safely.
