Good evening sir. I have gone through your history . chest pain. Radiating to arms and shoulders is usually due to heart problem. It is unusual to happen after a bypass surgery. You can try using sorbitrate and see if it works. Also you need a better control of blood pressure. 174/85 is still very high and that itself can cause the pain as well. You should revisit your doctor and explain him the problems once again and increase your blood pressure medicines. The aim is to keep it less than 140. Hope the information was useful
