Concerning: Given your age and the presence of hypertension, i would not ignore any chest pain/neck pain, especially if recurrent. I would advise at least getting an urgent appointment with your md, but if the pain is severe and recurrent, i would consider going to the er. Anxiety is one possibility, but it is a "diagnosis of exclusion" meaning that we consider it only after ruling out more risky causes.

See U PCP : For evaluation and work up, if u BP is elevated may need to adjust u med. Good luck.
