Hello and welcome to HCM,
Is there any history of trauma to the skull in recent past?
Trauma is the most common cause of depression in skull bone.
High blood pressure needs to monitored by your physician to decide further course of action.
Initially life style modifications are required.
If life style modifications are not able to control the high blood pressure, the anti-hypertensive drugs will be required.
Kindly, elaborate the stomach issues that you are facing for more information regarding the problem.
Thanks and take care
