You need to see a doctor. There has never been a time in history that the heart has been better understood, that treatment has been so effective, and the quality of life has been so great for those suffering.
Please do not wait until your symptoms become an emergency, because at that point, it could be too late.
I too have high blood pressure (well controlled with simple medication), have had a heart attack, and lived through it with flying colors. My lifestyle is active, I participate in my children's lives everyday, and enjoy all life has to offer.
Worry is the most counter productive choice you can make when dealing with your health. Fear is not realistic, and it can do long term damage to your health, without any positive outcome.
Instead, arm yourself with facts, and trust in the professionals to diagnose and treat your chest pains. I understand that can be a hard concept to overcome, but it will serve you well in your treatment of health issues, for the rest of you and your families life.
I wish you well...

bilybowl makes a good point... Your symptoms could be caused by any number of things, some very simple. A little check up can go a long way to ease your mind.
