Hello and welcome to Heath care Magic ,Please note that in these case we try to rule
out Ischemic Heart Diseases. Please take Sub lingual Nitrate if you get relieved within 10-15 minutes ,then most likely you are having Ischemic Heart disease ,so this is an urgent indication for ECG ,If sweating is present may be due to Heart-attack ,But it also happens that too much of gastritis gives a false symtom of heart disease ,as a precautionary measure take Sublingual nitroglycerin at the time of pain ,take some antacid-Digene syrup two table spoonful three times daily,take tablet pantaprazole emty stomach in the morning,tab monotrate 12 hourly.
Have a blood pressure check regularly and take medication depending on your blood pressure,take advice from cardiologist as soon as possible,take care

Hi well come to HCM.
You have not mentioned your age,associated condition like HBP,DM,vices like smokinng
Obesity etc all this are risk factors for coronary artery disease. How ever since the
pain was unbearable and made you to cry,some thing serious like coronary artery
disease and dissecting aneurism of aorta must be ruled out. Better consult your
doctor immedietely and get done needed evaluation. Thanks

Hello.Welcome.A chest pain which is stabbing in nature and occurring early morning in your sleep is classical myocardial ischemia and should be seen and investigated by a cardiologist as early as possible.Good luck.

The possibilities are a coronary artery problem, or acid reflux. a work up by adsicerning physician is in order.

It could be stress related. I had that feeling in the middle of my chest, like someone was stabbing me with a knife. It was always worse when I first woke up. I went to the doctor and had an ECG done but it was revealed that the pain was from stress. I take naproxen to help relieve the pain. It worked much better for me than ibuprofen did.
