Pain should always be checked by a medical doctor. Angina is chest pain that gets worse during stress of exercise. It is due to insufficient blood supply (ischemia) to the heart muscle and can be dangerous because it is a warning sign of a future heart attack. Sometimes the chest pain happens at night due to intense spasms of the coronary vessels causing restricted blood flow, which may due to toxins from the colon.

Ayurveda recognizes that chest pain may be due to sweet, thick blood that is hard to circulate (Kapha), overexertion (Pitta), or stress causing vasoconstriction (Vata). Chest pain that increases with breath or movement may be due to pleurisy - inflammation of the lungs.

Disclaimer: 'Chest Pain' could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.
