Hello

Thanks for asking a question at HCM

I will be glad to answer for you

These rae typical symptoms of anxiety and it is common to have little raised blood pressure when you are anxious. It is nothing pathological.

Now, when you get chest pains next time, get an ECG done once to rule out heart problem. It will mostly show no abnormality and that can ease your symptoms.

Hope this helps

Best Regards
