What Causes Chest Pain Every Morning Despite Taking Antibiotics?

for the last several days I wake in the morning with chest pain. Eating makes it worse, no matter what I eat. sitting up doesn t help the pain and neither does pepto or tums. I already take Nexium daily. I also take a sustained dosage on nitro daily and nitro as needed. Neither seem to make a difference either. I have 3 stents and the rest of my arteries look to be no more than 40% blocked. For the last 2 days, the pain/pressure never totally goes away. I am 63 years old, overweight and have a history of hypertension and high cholesterol. I am also on anti-depressants. I don t want to go to the ER if it is likely to be just extreme heart burn (which I also have had in the past)
