AM chest tightness: May be reflux , that occurs when lying down in sleep. Consider elevating head of bed with pillow under mattress. May consider famotidine before bed as well that is anti reflux medicine. Would check pulmonary function-PFT as may need medication adjustment ( worse in AM because lungs compress during sleep due to position) In the era of coronavirus would also get tested for coronavirus.F/U w/ MD
