What Causes Pain On Right Side While Breathing?

I've had a pain on my right side for 3 days now. I can only feel it when I breathe in and last night when i layed down on my left side, but the pain was still on my right side. The pain was more intense last night. I still have it today. It also hurts when I bend over as well.
