Can chest pain be a symptom of hypertension?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Chest pain is not usually related to the hypertension itself unless the blood pressure is very high. But complications of the hypertension, such as a dissecting aneurysm (tearing of the aorta) or a heart attack could produce chest pain.
