Hi since your pressure is quite high (170 systolic) it sometimes can cause increase in pressure in your cranium and cause headache . So consult a physician to get the right choice of antihypertensives for you and if your headache persists despite control of BP , do get yourself evaluated for it's cause - anything from stress to vision problem to migraine can cause headache. there are several possibilities . As for your chest pain it definitely needs attention. Go for a Chest X ray PA and left lateral view , echocardiography, Ultrasound abdomen . Do you have any abdominal pain ? Do u consume too much alcohol ? Based on ur symptoms I feel your descending aorta (the major blood vessel that carries blood pumped from heart to lower half of the body) and pancreas need to be focussed upon . Do consult a physician in person.
