HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If you are having persisting chest pain then you should consider visiting your doctor for an assessment as soon as possible.
Though chest pain may be due to any structure in the chest from the skin inwards, it would be best to rule out heart disease since there is a family history and a history of hypertension.
I hope this helps
