Can Sleeping On Hard Mattress Cause Back Pain And Discomfort On Breathing?

I am a 32 year old male. I have back pain in my mid back area, right at the lower portion of my rib cage. It causes discomfort when I take deep breaths. I have just started sleeping on a harder mattress and I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it.
