Thank you for your question.
You have provided the information that you are a 57 year old lady with high BP and acid reflux. Is your BP under control? Are you on any medications for the same?
Are you taking any medications for the acid reflux?
From the description of our symptoms, it appears that your problems are mainly due to acid reflux. Are the symptoms associated with food intake?
Though your symptoms are suggestive of reflux, it would be prudent to visit your physician and get an ECG(or an EKG) done to rule out a problem in the heart.
Reducing your stress levels, having food at proper time, and avoiding spicy foods and tea and coffee and too much chocolates, avoiding lying down just after eating food, having dinner about 2 hours before you go to sleep may all help to reduce your reflux symptoms.
Medicines are available to effectively suppress reflux and you may discuss with your physician regarding the same.
If you can answer my questions it would give me a clearer picture about your problem.
I hope his helps in guiding you about how to go forward about your symptom.
I find this answer helpful
