Dear Idumas, hello
Thanks for writing in.
Heartbeat of 170 with chest pain and high blood pressure is an emergency condition and should be immediately reported at the Emergency department. You should have an urgent opinion from a Cardiologist also. Recent EKG and other required investigations should be done to look for the cause and treatment should be taken accordingly.
Thanks.
