I'm feeling some chest pain above my breasts on both sides, and it's been happening on and off for the past week. It's not constant, but I've noticed it twice now. Could this be related to gas or could it be something more serious like a heart issue? I'm pretty worried and would appreciate any insight you could give me.

I'm really struggling to manage my high blood pressure and I'm feeling worried about the side effects I'm experiencing. Right now, I'm taking Amlopres AT 25 in the morning and plain Amlodipine 2.5 in the evening, but I just don't feel fresh and there's this persistent pain in my ankle. I did try switching to Metaprolol, but it only made my BP and heart rate go up. I also attempted using Telmesartan with Amlodipine, which controlled my BP, but then my heart rate increased. I'm feeling stuck and a bit lost about what to do next. My lipid profile is under control with cholesterol at 150 and triglycerides at 76, and my fasting blood sugar is 106. Could you suggest a better medication plan or any other advice?
Take Temsan AM for 15 days , and check BP after 15 days
