Hello,

The pressure in the middle of the chest with hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and chronic smoking indicate various possible issues as:
- Gastric upset with gastritis, gastric or duodenal ulcer
- Ischemic pain from underlying atherosclerosis of coronary vessels
- Anxiety manifestation
- Musculoskeletal related
- Others reflux related as GERD

Kindly get an evaluation with your consultant physician for further guidelines. Primary care would be with proton pump inhibitor as omeprazole or esomeprazole with sips of water on empty stomach. Should avoid all spices, non veg, junk foods, dairy fat if consuming.
