Hello sir, For your age, you don't have Diabetics, hypertension or an ischemic heart disease. The kidney is not assessed by percentage. It is assessed by estimating the blood urea or Serum creatinine levels. Without knowing their value and its effect over the body like edema face, abdomen and legs and other symptoms of kidney failure/medical renal disease - we cant assess by percentage. Heart palpitations, sickness and headaches need a complete evaluation of Sugar, Lipid profile, urea, creatinine, BP, ECG and USG abdomen for Urinary tract etc., First analyze what problem you have and what is their effect in your body, then take medicines and follow Chat Doctor.  You will live longer and live better My best wishes for that
