What Causes Chest Pain And Breathlessness While Laying Down?

My son is 40 yrs old. He has problems sometimes catching his breath when he lays down and has sharp pains in several different areas of his chest. It doesn t seem to be a heart problem as of right now. Any ideas of what his problem could be? Thanks, Bonnie

Hi welcome to HCM.
Chest pain in your case can be of non cardiac origin.This could be most likely be musculosketal in origin.Cardiac ailments can be ruled out through baseline ecg and 2 dimensional echo.Drugs like ibuprofen and alprazolam will help to control the chest discomfort.Stress management will help to relieve lot more symptoms.Consult your cardiologist for further query.
