Hi,
Welcome To HCM & Thanks For Asking Your Query Here

There are variety of reasons for chest pain but as you already have high blood pressure (Hypertention ) it is important to check your BP on regular basis
However you are taking antihypertensive medicines (Lisinopril 20 mg) on regular basis but still it is possible that you might have an acute hypertensive episode

However your chest pain might be related to gastric esophageal reflex but it might be related to something serious like angina which is a major out come of chronic Hypertension and it needs thorough medical checkup and investigations to rule out the underlying medical condition

I would strongly suggest you to visit your doctor to get it further evaluated

I hope it help
Thanks & Get well Soon
