hi
your medications for hypertension are ok.
but any chest pain especially in hypertensive & diabetic patients can have some significance.
some times even gastritis can mimic the cardiac pain,please take a dose of antacids and pantoprazole,
if it is not reduced,
it is better to get it evaluated with the cardiologist, with cardiac enzymes, ecg, 2d-echo, Tread mill test, if reguired an angiogram.
all the best, take care
