High BP and light chest pain

Question

Asked for Male, 37 Years

I have been diagnosed with hypertension and I have family history of the same with my both parents. I was advised to take Amlopine-5 once a day regularly as my BP was noted as 150/90~160/110. Now after regular consumption of this tablet my family doctor shared that my BP is normal with 140/90. Is that normal BP or should I take some other medications? Moreover lately I have noticed a very light few seconds lasting chest pain. Not sure if it is due to heart or what but appreciate if someone guides on next steps.
