Hello,
I understand your concern and would explain that your blood pressure values are really high and this could be the cause of chest pain. For this reason, I recommend taking another tablet of amlodipine in order to help reduce your blood pressure values.
If the chest pain persists, I recommend going to the ER for a physical exam, a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
