Suggest Remedy For Pain In Rib Cage With Shortness Of Breath

Hi recently when I wake in the morning I have pain in my rib cage or lungs. It feels like you want to breathe deep stretch or move around to get some comfort. I have never smoked but grew up with parents that smoked. I am 48 years of age and work twelve hour shifts. When I get out of bed the discomfort goes away in a short while. I woke sweating this morning about 06.00 hrs and fell back to sleep for an hour to wake again to this pain. This was not happening last week. It did happen once or twice in the recent past that is all. Can you help me please. Declan.
