What Causes Chest Pain While Suffering From Hypertension?

My husband is a 52 year old white male with high blood pressure. He s on 3 medications for it. He complains of his chest hurting right above his heart almost his shoulder. Lately his pulse has been 116. Not a drinker or a smoker. He does have osteoporosis. What could be causing the pain and such a high pulse ? My husbands body no longer produces testasarone?
