What Causes Chest Pain During Night?

i have pain since last six moths in my chest (left) and i am not sure whether its ribs or chest pain. I consulted chest specialist and orthopedic doctors but in vain. The pain has gradually increased. I experience this pain mostly during night while sleeping then any other time in day and while coughing. Which doctor do i need to consult?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should first rule out cardiac chest pain in your case.
So consult cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar kind of pain.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
