Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Beta blocker addresses several issues - chest pain, missed beats, hypertension anxiety...
It is an ideal drug in your situation!
You are rather young to have hypertension.
You need a battery of tests to look for a cause.
Chest pain is probably from anxiety.
TMT / Holter / ECHO / Lab - all should be done for a proper diagnosis.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
