Hi. Thank you for your question.
Sharp chest pains can be originated by acute or chronic inflammation of linings within the chest, such as of pericardium and pleura. Also, they can be musculoskeletal in origin. However, I would recommend an EKG and an echocardiogram, mostly to rule out possible cardiac causes of this chest pain. As regarding to blood pressure levels, appropriate treatment should be started, if high.
I hope I was helpful. Greetings.
