Dear Mam, hello.
Pain which is cardiac in origin like Angina pain is felt most commonly on left side of chest and radiates towards the left arm. Since you are hypertensive i.e. with high blood pressure, it can be anginal pain. Please have an ECG done and consult a cardiologist for furthur examination.
Thanks.
