Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, stress and anxiety are likely causes for tachycardia (rapid pulse rate), left sided chest pain and high blood pressure.
But better to first rule out heart diseases as all these symptoms are commonly seen with heart diseases.
So first get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
