Chest pain comes and goes is worst after the weakness has come on. the pain does increase with deep breathing i try not to do that.have only hypertension and GERD or my stomach trouble which has been gooing on for at 25 years.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
Chest pain with differential blood pressure in both arms is concerning for possible Aortic dissection. Also, since your stress test revealed an abnormality, a Coronary angiogram is also indicated.
I recommend that you follow up with the emergency room or call 911 as soon as possible. The symptoms you are experiencing should be evaluated further and a prompt evaluation is recommended (at the earliest).
Hope I was able to help you
Please let me know if you need further clarifications.
