Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should immediately consult doctor to rule out coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure.
Your all symptoms like left arm pain, left chest pain, breathlessness etc are commonly seen with CAD. And CAD is common in hypertensive patient.
So consult doctor and get done
1. Ecg
2. 2d echo
3. Stress test (trade mill test)
4. Coronary angiography (if required).
Strict control of hypertension is needed. Avoid excessive salt in diet. You will also need other cardiac supportive drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright, but first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
