What Causes Chest Pain?

I have been having chest pains after going to bed and have gave up on laying down. now that I've been upright the pain is a little better. I have noticed when I take a deep breath there is a stronger pain in the chest area. I'm thinking this is heartburn, but never had anything quite like this. Any advice? I'm 37 years old about 6' tall and 210#. I did have a stent put in about a year and a half ago. The pain is different though.

Hello

Thank you for asking

You explain that you had a stent a year and a half for this pain.The fact that the pain is better in upright position and worsened in lying down i don* t think it is related with cardiac problem.Better to do achest X Ray for any lung problem .It it is normal may be this pain is with stomach origin,probably reflux.But however an EKG should be done for the heart.
For the stomach you shuold be careful with the foods,no spicy, not eating late at dinner,and to lose a little weight.

Wish you good health
