What Causes Pain In The Chest At Night Time When Resting?

I have been getting a kind of an ache in my breast mostly at night time when I am resting, I take a blood pressure tablet 2.5mg Ramipril, the doctor said I had a slightly raised cholesterol but I had Simvastatin and that is when I got aches and pains in the chest area as I was given the Simvastatin with amlodipine and they apparently did not agree with me, is there anything that I should change with my doctor such as the blood pressure tablet please could you advise
