hi,
It is universally accepted that, any history of cardiac disease with risk factors like hypertension and dyslipidemia (high cholesterol) should call a cardiac check up.
As you have left sided chest pain, it is possible that you have cardiac pain. your first time recording of high BP need not worry you but, a cardiac consultation with EKG will help you in diagnosis.
All the best.
