hi,
your blood pressure is certainly high and you need to monitor blood pressure frequently.
Have low salt diet, low fat, sugar, diet. regular exercises and get your lipid profile and sugars tested once.
you need to start on medicine and I usually start my patient on tab Telmisartan 40 mg once a day. you can discuss this issue with local doctor.
Still you need to keep track of bp so that it's should be controlled and will not affect kidney and heart.
Regarding your pain it can be gastritis and kidney problem is less likely. however you avoid spicy, oily food, avoid alcohol, smoking if any, and try tab pantoprazole 40 beforebreakfast once a day.
you can do one ultrasound abdomen done which can make picture Clear.
