Hello! Thanks for putting your query in XXXXXXX I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).
Ans 1: No it can't. But many of my patients do have these symptoms which they describe as there was lot of gas in stomach, felt bloated and it ascended to head. However it cannot happen in anyway logically and certainly.
Ans 2:No acidity or gas cannot triggers high BP. However anxiety can do
Ans 3: About diet who should avoid fatty diet.
Ans 4:Cider vinegar is acidic in nature, please avoid it
Few more tips:
1.Avoid fatty meals
2. Don't lie down soon after meals for at least half hour
3.Take small and frequent meals, instead of full meals at a time
4. wear loose clothes
5. If you are overweight or obese do weight reduction with dieting and exercise
Among medication :
6. Proton pump inhibitor like rabeprazole along with a prokinetic agent like domperidone
I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Remain in touch and get-well soon.

Thank you Doctor XXXXXXX
I had done endoscopy last year at Raffles Hospital here in Singapore and nothing came out.
Again after one year, same symptoms but get also sensation in my head. You are right as BP was high for 30 min coz of anxiety. I had complete medical screening done now and everything is normal. You can see my medical report. I have enclosed. Doctor has given me omeprazole (proceptin) 20 mg, Will this help?? Your views Please
Why there is sensation in the head?? Is it cervical as there are prominent interior cervical vertebral body osteophytes noted at C5/C6 with corresponding loss of intervertebral disc heights.. or do i need to investigate further ??

Sorry I could not find any attached report
Rabeprazole is better than omeprazole, although omeprazole is also ok. However take it along with some prokinetic agent like domperidone. This will definitely help.
Sensation in head may be due to decreased intervertebral space and presence of osteophytes. This is a condition known as cervical spondyloisis. For this you require some physiotherapy and exercise and hard bed with thin pillow, regarding which you can discuss with your treating doctor
