What Is Causing My Dull Achy Chest Pains?

Hi my name is Crystal-- i am 26 years old and I am about 239 pounds.I am having some dull achy chest pains- sometimes its worse then other times but my right should hurts as well but that is more of like an ache and when i lift things- I also have some back pain that goes into my legs- which i have seen a doctor for- I do have some allergies so i do have a cough and I have headaches. I have kept check on my blood pressure- this morning it was 128/90 something and then I took it again and it was 140/08 and then i took it again and it was 128/90 something. Is this something be concerned about- I am taking birth control pills and i have noticed an increase in blood pressure since I have been taking those. Not sure if it can affect it or not.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, birth control pills can cause hypertension. So keep check on your blood pressure.
Since your chest pain is aggravated by movements, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely.
So avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
