Hello, Thanks for posting your query on Healthcare Magic...
* Brief Answer: Take care, your chest discomfort may be a symptom of ischemia.
*Explanation: My opinion is that as long as your blood pressure is controlled , it is not preferred to change your medications . your complaint may be related to another condition . chest discomfort or pain especially with exertion plus or minus sweating and nausea are manifestations of ischemic heart disease, and that you should be aware of.
I suggest my patients the following : general and local cardiac examination, electrocardiogram and echocardiography be needed.
The information provided by you is not sufficient to provide a good opinion.
If someone comes to me with this condition I would ask them about age and smoking history.
*Conclusion: I suggest you check with your general physician and do the investigations i suggested.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to help, If not, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health.
