What Causes Pain In Chest?

Periodically I get pains in my chest just below my breast plate radiating through my back. At the same time I have pains up my neck to my jaw and ear on the left. I have checked my blood pressure during these times and it is around 160's over high 90's and at times 100's. I am on blood pressure medicine but still have spikes like this. Should i be concerned?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely consult your doctor about this fluctuations in blood pressure.
You are already taking antihypertensive drugs still your blood pressure is not maintaining.
So you will need ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test) to rule out other cardiac diseases.
You will also need additional antihypertensive drug to control blood pressure.
Avoid excessive salt in diet. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
