General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for your query.

Based on your symptoms, I would like to rule out Pneumothorax (trapped air in the lung) and a rib fracture. Heart related issues need to definitely checked out as well.

* do you smoke or consume alcohol?
*do you have any other medical issues or take any medications?
*did you get a chest Xray done?

I recommend :
-see your doctor right away or go to the ER.
-electrocardiogram and echocardiogram
-chest xrays
-blood tests (complete blood count, blood glucose levels, lipid profile, kidney and liver function tests)

The blood pressure can rise due to anxiety, pain as well.
Based on this treatment can be initiated. I urge you to seek help right away.Hope this helps.
Please let me know if there is anything I could do to help you.
Wish you good health
