Suggest Remedies For Chest Pain And Difficulty Breathing While In Sleeping Position

I woke up 1 week ago with heavy lungs an it felt like a couple ribs were broken. It was painful to move. Now I find I can t lay on my left side without pain and I wake up gasping for air. I am a stomach sleeper or on my left side only. Should I go to a doctor or will it pass?
