Minor Discomfort While Taking Deep Breath After Waking Up Due To Sleeping On Stomach?

Hello. I'm just curious, sometimes when I wake up I have a minor discomfort when I take a deep breath. It goes away in a few minutes and doesn't continue throughout the day. I often breath rather shallowly, I've never stopped breathing in my sleep, and I sleep on my stomach. Could this possibly cause this discomfort?
