HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The heart is divided into a right and left side. Each side has a top part (the atrium) and a bottom part (the ventricle).
High blood pressure, because it can put a strain on the heart, can sometimes cause changes in the left ventricle.
Angina is a heart condition that can cause pain but this would normally be pain on activity that decreases on rest.
If the pain is constant then it is not likely related to the heart but one of the other structures in the chest (bones, muscles, esophagus, lungs)
I hope this helps
