What Causes Back Pain With Breathlessness In The Morning?

I wake early in a morning about 06:00, I get up at 07:30 for work... A sharp pain to my back near the bottom of my right shoulder blade. The pain feels like in spasms and causes me to tense up and struggle to breathe due to the sharpness. Once I'm moving around, get my shower and treat the area with hot water from the shower the pain eases. I also struggle to put my head forward in a downward position until the pain has eased...This is waking me each morning before my alarm, and I don't know how to stop it. I've had a new mattress especially for my back. I am 40 years old, 8½ stone and exercise daily (Mon-Frid) by hula hooping and gentle arm weights...

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some pinched nerve pressure pain due to some degenerative changes in your cervical spines.
While waking early in the morning there might be having some stiffness in the shoulder and neck muscles producing this pain.
Go for x ray cervical region for spondilitis changes.
Go for physiotherapy, short way diathermy.
Avoid putting pillow under the neck or use soft pillow while going to sleep.
Ok and take care.
