taking an extra dose of Telmisartan without a doctors approval based on high BP is extremely dangerous. The first diagnosis of chest pain in your case after a heavy meal would be angina. I would recommend you do an ECG, echo and stress test. If all negative , start a Proton pump inhibitor and avoid alcohol.
