Hi I can understand your concern.

You had put for lb pain on you so here by weight lifting you might have musculoskeletal pain.....

Rest is needed.
For pain relief simple analgesic can taken...
Muscular strain will take few days to heal.
Hot compression can be useful....

Whenever exercising weight lifting, gradually increased your weight load.
Sudden heavy weight lift not done as you have increased age....

Cardio respi exercise like running regularly done as you are hypertensive....

If still pain constricting and reffered to arm ECG or Eco done.....

Take care....
