CHEST PAINS

I am currently taking medicines for high blood pressure. I am taking atenolol and prinzide daily. I used to have palpitations and atenolol was prescribed. My blood pressure was high, so my doctor also prescribed prinzide. I am 45 years old and am about 20 lbs. overweight. I will start exercising again after the holidays. I went in for my yearly gynocological exam a couple of weeks ago. I also had a mammogram done about a little over a week ago. Everything is fine, only the day after the mammogram, I started having chest pain in the upper right part of my chest above the breast. The pain lasted seven days, but this morning the pain went away. I was thinking maybe I pulled a muscle during the exam, however, the pain started up again today this afternoon at work when I became stressed out. Should I make an appt. to see my doctor or wait until after the holidays to see if it still happens?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Sharon
