Tight pain in chest each morning?

I have woken the last few mornings with a tight pain in my chest (right in the centre goring from just below where the hollow is below your throat, down to about where a bra waistband sits) - it feels sort of like heartburn/indigestion or high up hunger (I have tried fixing it with food ).

It hurts more when I take deep breaths.

Inhaler doesn't seem to do much.

It obviously goes at some point during the morning because I know its not there all day.

Any ideas? Large of nork - could it be down to sleeping funny and not wearing a bra to bed?

It hurts and is irritating! Whereas normally DH gets up and I can roll over and sleep for a bit longer, I can't now because it hurts and keeps me awake!

Do you cough a lot with it?

Do you sleep with alot of pillows? Can cause pain sometimes if you have your neck crooked.

2 fairly flat pillows - have always slept with them.

No cought at all - just a tight shooting pain.

You may not be inflating and deflating your lungs to their full when you are asleep, do you wake up often at night or snore sorry, this can cause stress on the chest and give you this pain too, by you using your lungs in the morning it would releave it. just a thought

I wake quite a bit... mixture of nightmares/vivid dreams and the joys of DS (that was weird... nearly put DS1 ).

DH's response to "Do I snore?" was "not really"

I get a crushing pain in chest
Esp when laying on side
really hurts

Might not be the same thing though

GP told me it was anxiety

Comes and goes

Anxiety could easily be a cause I hadn't thought of that
