Hello Ma'am
After going through the medical details provided by you I would like to tell you that however anxiety is a major factor that contributes to raised blood pressure and even chest discomfort.
However in your case to have to be sure that it's not due to any cardiac issue I would like to suggest you to get few basic cardiac tests done.
1. ECG
2. Echocardiography
3. Lipid profile
4. HbA1c
Considering your age group which is approaching 40 and as your blood pressure is slightly high kindly get these test done and personally consult your doctor for evaluation.
I hope this information will answer your query and guide you properly.
