Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should definitely go tomorrow emergency room and rule out cardiac chest pain.
You are having left sided chest pain which is not relieved by muscle relaxant drugs (aleve). Your chest pain is recurring in the midnight (2am).
All these favour heart diseases and related pain.
So immediately go to ER and get done ecg and 2d echo to rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
