Hello.
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic forum.
If the pain is in rib and not in the chest then most likely you have had an injury in that area which is causing you the pain.You stop sleeping on that side and get an X-ray done to rule out any serious problem.You can take OTC pain killers till then.
