There should be a Publicly run hospital in the County that you live in. The local government will either foot the entire bill or partial bill. The hospital intake specialist may even help you obtain Medical so the State pays for all of your treatments. (USA)

Pain any where in the chest needs to be checked out for seriousness. I encourage you to proceed with going to the hospital and get some answers before any surprise pops up and now...matters are worse.

Hope this helps!

I am a heart patient with long time experience of angina, chest pain. When it is angina the chest pain gets worse when you are standing up and moving around. Gets less when you are resting. I take nitroglycerin under tongue for chest pain. If it doesn't go away in 15 minutes then I call my dr or an ambulance and go to emergency room. If your left chest hurts when you go to sleep it is not a typical angina pain. BUT you should check out any chest pain with a doctor. I know you don't have insurance. Try the hospital outpatient clinics. They usually have a sliding scale payment. You should have the pain checked out by a doctor. Please do that for your health no matter what the cost.
