Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

My thoughts and suggestions are as below. When the systolic blood pressure raises, it is obvious that the blood supply to the neck and ears get enhanced which in itself is very rich getting these red and warm. Since you have undergone cardiac evaluation, echo-cardiography your Cardiologist must have give you an appropriate management for the said symptoms that you have. If the blood pressure remains in the range the symptoms may vanish and per se there is no specific treatment for such a thing. Vasculitis should be seen for and if present a course of oral steroids may help a lot. Also hormonal factors play a role particularly in a female patient. X-ray showing blunting of right costophrenic angle can be due to tuberculosis o any other factors that need further evaluation and investigations to know the exact cause and thus get treated accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query.
