Brief Answer:
BP control essential.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. There are a number of health problems that you have. I put my suggestions below:
* The blood pressure 160/100 mm Hg is quite high and needs to be controlled with regular medication. It has to be backed by limitation of dietary salt intake. You need to visit a doctor and remain under his follow up for the same.
* Piles or hemorrhoids is frequently related to constipation. You need to take plenty of green leafy vegetables and also fiber supplements. Take light diet.
* If the problem of piles persists, taking Daflon tablet (contains flavones) should provide relief.
* The indigestion is related. Take small meals but at reduced intervals. Avoid junk food.

Feel free to write back in case of further queries.

Regards
