Patient question
What should I do the next day if I had chest pressure at night that went away on its own?

Relief does not mean the risk has passed. Record when it happened, how long it lasted, what you were doing, any other symptoms, and any previous similar episodes. Contact a healthcare provider promptly for evaluation. If it happens again, gets worse, or comes with shortness of breath, cold sweats, or fainting, call emergency services right away.
