Hi Dhop1978:
New onset chest pain always requires evaluation by your doctor. If the pain is severe, you should seek immediate medical care. So if you haven't been evaluated get evaluated. Chest pain is never something to take lightly, you never know if it is something life-threatening or not until you are evaluated.
Take care,
Tara
Some people have problems with acid reflux at night that presents itself as chest pain. I recommend discussing your symptoms at your doctors appointment to determine what tests are needed to diagnose the issue and determine appropriate treatment.
