Chest pains keeping me up

About once a week I get this pain and it feels like someone is standing on my sternum. It happens mostly from about 1-3am and keeps me up for a couple of hours. Any of you have this problem or any remedies for it?

Prinzmetal's Angina. See a physician.

Could be many things, if you haven't had a check up recently it probably wouldn't hurt, and to mention it to a doctor.
Know your blood type?

What happens if you try to eat something during these spells?
Does burping help?

How much food and alchol are you consuming immediately prior to when you go to sleep? I am a seasoned drinker but if I have put down say a 18 pack in a 5 hour period then wake up. I'm not sleeping worth a shite. Chest pains all night after one hour of hard sleep.

Start taking baby aspirin daily. If that doesn't help, see your physician.

See a cardiologist. Anytime chest pain can be described as pressure, it should be considered coronary artery disease until proven otherwise.
Do you only get it at night? because there is something called angina decubitus. Or do you get chest pain or shortness of breath with exertion too?
Either way, chest pain isn't something to play with. see a cardiologist.

Your body is giving you a wake-up call. If you're over 40 there's a chance that you've got some artery blockage. If you're lucky it won't be in your main artery. If not, there's a reason they call that the widow maker. My brother died of a sudden heart attack at 57 but he had been experiencing symptoms for a long time and just ignored them.
See your doctor stat and don't downplay the symptoms.

Acid reflux?
I don't know what it is but happens sometimes to me also. I usually take two Tylenol and that kicks it

You did the right thing by asking the OT heart specialists

Some of the pseudo serious medical suggestions here are scary.
But seriously. Go at least to the doctor today if not the ED

You must see a doctor. It may not be your heart but it is possible to have multiple small heart attacks, until the big one hits you.

WHat's your age?
Family history of heart disease?
Any time you feel pressure on the chest (usually a big time symptom of angina or heart-related issues) you should get evaluated by a doctor.
It could be something as benign as reflux, but you may have some arteries blocked that could use a stent. You should go to a cardiologist if you're over 35.
