Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Of possible please upload the ECG. Now, if it's showing the changes of ischemia then you should get the echo done and if normal then should have stress test done. Also, you should get hemoglobin and thyroid test done. You should get started on medicines like antiplatelets and statin till evaluation. And also beta blockers like Metoprolol which would control your BP and pulse rate.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
