A sensation of grittiness upon waking up and swelling in feet after sitting might be worth investigating further. It sounds like you’re dealing with some fluid retention, which is taking place in the body. In Ayurveda, such an imbalance could be linked to issues with Kapha dosha, which governs water balance, and acts like a mediator in the body’s structure. It would be wise to consider ruling out any underlying conditions, including kidney function concerns, especially if there’s fluid retention and significant weight gain like in your case.
You should indeed check your kidney function. This can be done through blood tests, urine analysis, or other assessments advised by a healthcare professional. It will help to determine if there is any connection between the kidney function and the symptoms you’re experiencing.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, working on balancing Kapha is ann essential step. You might want to reduce your intake of salty, heavy, and oily foods, which can exacerbate Kapha imbalances. Emphasize foods that are light, dry, and warm such as barley and millets, which help in reducing excess water retention. Regular exercise can also be beneficial, focus on activities that invigorate the body and help circulation, like brisk walking or light jogging.
It’s also helpful to add spices like ginger, black pepper, and cinnamon to food, these aid in maintaining digestive fire and can prevent Kapha accumulation. Drinking warm water with lemon or a pinch of ginger in the early morning can help stimulate your agni, which is essential for metabolism.
However, if the swelling and grittiness persist or you notice other worrying symptoms, do prioritize reaching out to a healthcare provider to ensure there isn’t a more immediate underlying issue. It’s crucial in cases where symptoms could indicate more severe health issues to take action swiftly. Avoid delaying in reaching out for further diagnosis via conventional medical testing to give you peace of mind and ensure safety.
