Hi,
Welcome.
Your bp is absolutely fine & is well within normal range but the chest pain sounds bad. It could be related to the heart & you should immediately go to the hospital for ECG & blood tests (cardiac troponins).
If both are fine, I'll recommend you for a stress echo to evaluate future risks of getting a heart disease.
Thanks
