What Is The Cause Of Chest Pain?

I have high blood pressure and anxiety. I have been having constant chest pain for 2 days and seems to be worse when breathing in. I am a smoker, about a pack every 2 days. I am 35 and have been smoking for about 15 years. I have a family history of heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes. I don't get sick very often and have no other symptoms such as coughing.

Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should immediately consult cardiologist and get done ecg to rule out cardiac cause.
Because you are having following risk factors for cardiac disease.
1. Strongly positive family history.
2. Chronic heavy smoker since 15 years.
3. Hypertension.
So get done ecg.
If ecg is normal then no need to worry much for cardiac cause.
Your chest pain is mostly due to anxiety.
Better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
Quit smoking as soon as possible. It is very bad habit.
Avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
