Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
I am a qualified and certified cardiologist. I read your mail with diligence.
Chest pain in a poorly controlled hypertensive patient who is taking two different type of drugs of same group is a serious issue. I would urge you to see a doctor if you are having chest pain so that conditions like angina (pain due to mismatch of supply of blood to heart not fulfilling its demand) and Myocardial Infarction (damage to heart due to this mismatch) can be excluded. Your blood pressure is also fairly high with headache as a symptom that can be prelude to cerebrovascular problem. Seek medical help in ER at the soonest. Good Luck.
With Best Wishes
