Angina Decubitus is a form of angina that occurs when a person is lying down (not necessarily during sleep). It occurs because the fluids in the body are redistributed in this position due to gravity, and the heart has to work harder.

Angina pectoris, also called angina, is temporary chest pain or a sensation of pressure that occurs while the heart muscle is not receiving enough oxygen.
