I'm dealing with high blood pressure since 2020 and I often have headaches and chest pain. My average blood pressure is around 150100. My doctor has prescribed me olmesartan 20mg. Should I be concerned about these symptoms, and is the medication dosage suitable?

I've been experiencing chest pain on the right upper side for a few months now, especially when I lift something heavy.

I occasionally feel mild pain near my breast too. I'm getting kind of worried. What could be causing these symptoms?
