See your doctor: Given your history of being overweight and having high blood pressure, you should see your doctor to make certain that you are not having cardiac ischemia. Anytime that a patient complains of chest pain, it should be evaluated to make certain that it is not a heart attack. There are tests that may be done readily by your doctor to make certain.
