Hi,
You have normal blood pressure but a mild raised pulse,but not significantly raised pulse.
But looking at your age you have a higher cholesterol levels which would directly put you in high risk category.
Now chest tightness can have various causes
1) Problems related to heart( it is less common seeing you age but you have high cholesterol levels try reducing them
2) Problems related to lungs. Do you have any problems in breathing or are you allergic to dust or may be something ?
3) It could also be due to gastritis(do you have any problems related to your stomach, may you might be having excessive bloating or burping sensation)
Ways to reduce cholesterol
1) Reduce your oil,ghee,butter,deep fried,frozen foods
2) You can change your oil(olive oil is good)
3) Do regular physical exercise
4) Reduce your stress levels
Feel free to ask more questions.

Hi,
You should try to lower it right now with diet first for 3-4 months. If no effects are seen then you may go on with drugs for this(raised cholesterol).
Your blood pressure is not high otherwise it is just a little raised for your age. As soon as your cholesterol comes down your b.p will also reduce.
If you have chest tightness,it can also be due to allergy(asthma). If you want to go for further test there are many tests but for now probably ECG is enough for you. if that is normal you don't need to go for any other test. Right now just look for your cholesterol and maintain your allergy,cause the season is such in which your allergy might aggravate and give you such discomfort.
