My short answer is I don't know. Chest pressure, as you are probaly aware, could be benign as anxiety or mild asthma, or as scary as angina or the beginnings of a Heart Attack. Meds that cause it need to be stopped for that reason. The meds you describe all cause slight changes in blood pressure and have some direct effect on the heart, but hey also can make patients anxious, so it's hard to say.
