Hi there

I understand your concern and I would like to advise you that you should consult your treating doctor personally as your BP medication dose need to be adjusted for high levels of morning BP. Rest you need to take general precautions like taking low dietary salt , avoiding junk and canned food, stop smoking ( if you do ), go for daily morning walks 45 mins a day for 5 days a week.
No neither of these BP medicines cause heart burn. You can take any Proton Pump Inhibitors like Pantoprazole for 10 days empty stomach 20 mins before breakfast.

I wish you good health
