Regular chest pain while in bed

[GoEleven]

Last June, I developed flu symptoms and treated it as per my doctor’s recommendations. After that, from the end of July and until now, I have felt a constant pressure inside the middle left side of my rib cage that regularly starts at about 3 AM while in bed, feels reduced as I get up and sometimes continues mildly through the morning. I never feel anything in the evening.

I am a 61 years old male, 5’10”, 165 lbs,  have no hypertension, no diabetes, my cholesterol was high 5 years ago, but through watching what I eat, I’ve reduced it to 64 (HDL) and 147 (LDL).

I run 5 days a week for a total of 20 miles, walk a lot, ski every two days in the winter, mountain bike in the summer and feel no shortness of breath when I exercise strenuously.
This past November I had both a Cat-scan of my lungs and an echography of my heart that fail to reveal anything except for some aortic regurgitation.

I could live with that chronic pain, but before I settle for that, I would like to know what it is and if I should be concerned about it.

No, I don't know exactly what my exact blood pressure is, but at my last visit, the doctor said it was good.
No, I don't take any medication or aspirin daily. My doc did recommend that I take a baby aspirin a day (?)
There's no heart disease in my family and I eat very healthy (my wife cooks everything) drink 2 glasses of red wine daily...

Do you know what your blood pressure is?  Do you take any medication or aspirin daily?  The reason I ask about the aspirin is that I myself get chest pains and pressure, but if I take the 81mg low dose aspirin every day, I do not get the pain.  From the looks of everything you do, you must feel way better than I do.  I am only 44 and have not been able to run for 24 years and I cannot bike or ski would get to tired yet the doctors tell me there is nothing wrong except tachycardia when exercising.  Your HDL is excellent!  I am curious to know your diet and what you eat?  Do you have any heart disease in your immediate family?
