Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should first rule out cardiac causes for her central chest pain because she is hypertensive patient. So get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG and 2d echo first. If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes, gastritis can also cause ventral burning chest pain. So give her antacid like pantoprazole (proton pump inhibitor) on empty stomach. Don't worry, she will be alright. Better to rule out cardiac cause for chest pain first. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
