Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.

You need medications for relief of symptoms and dietary modifications for complete relief and to prevent recurrence.

Avoid coffee, citrus, chocolates, tomatoes, fatty food, spicy food, alcohol.
Since your blood pressure is shooting up, try to restrict salt intake also.

I hope that answers your question.
