I'm a 67-year-old who's been taking Revelol XL 50, but my blood pressure numbers always seem to hang around 15090. I've decided to switch to Concor 5 in hopes of getting them down to 12080. Is this a good move, and could you explain what I might expect during this transition?

I'm really worried because my husband keeps having this slight pain and tightness in the center of his chest. It's especially bothersome when he coughs or takes a deep breath during these episodes. It's not happening all the time, but I'm not sure if we should investigate heart problems or something else. There aren't any other symptoms to go off of. What should we do?
