Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of angina pain and early heart failure is more.
Uncontrolled hypertension commonly causes heart failure. And this causes fluid retention, pulmonary edema. This inturn causes breathlessness, chest pain and tightness.
So immediately consult cardiologist and get done
1. Ecg
2. 2 d echo.
3. Stress test (trade mill test).
4. If required, Coronary angiography.
You may need diuretic drugs, antihypertensive and other cardiac supportive drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright, but first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
