Chest pain

[pb]

Been thinking the pain might be costochondritis, but the pain is so bad at times.
Woke up this morning with really bad pains.
I sleep on my front and this seems to start it off sometimes..

Costochondritis is very painful and you need to use topical voltarol maximum strength twice a day which can take the edge off. It can last for weeks but it's benign. I find hot baths help for a short time but other than that it's just time and trying to avoid aggravating the area of rib inflammation. It's worse first thing as well.

This is ridiculous even for me, because my chest pain is worse at night I've convinced myself that I'm going to have a heart attack tonight, I'm really scared ..

Please help,I'm terrified.
This evening I've had a couple of sharp spasms in the top of my left arm.
I was sitting down both times,but I'm now convinced I've got angina.

The spasms in my left arm are getting worse, I think I might have to go to hospital

Has anyone had chest and left arm pain and it has not been a heart problem.Can someone please reply .

Sorry to keep posting, I was in a complete panic last night !
One thing I have noticed is that my chest pain is worse at night, I often wake up with bad chest pains.
Costochondritis has been suggested, would the pain from this be worse at night. I sleep on my stomach/chest.
Google says pain during the night is heart problems !

If you sleep on your chest it will be agony with costochondritis. it's very hard managing the pain during the day too. I'm currently 2 weeks into my current bout and couldn't even think of sleeping on my front.

Really bad chest spasms yesterday evening and during the night.
I was convinced I was having a heart attack but didn’t go to hospital.
