Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
Your BP is slightly on the higher side but not a emergency situation. Blood pressure varies over different times of the day. So the above readings when though high, are acceptable. Please follow a salt restricted diet and continue taking your mediations.
regarding the chest discomfort you should get yourselves evaluated. I recommend a ECG and a stress test which records your ECG continually while you walk on a treadmill. This will help evaluate the presence of heart disease.
Please do the above tests and revert back.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
