What Causes Left-sided Pain In Chest And Ribs?

I am 51. My doctor took me off pravastatin two weeks ago because my cholesterol being 179 was not significant risk. Today, my left side of my rib and chest began to hurt. I have had heartburn symptoms. But when I lay down the pain is a 7 on a scale to 10. I feel quite uncomfortable but the pain goes away when I sit up. An thoughts? I am able to walk stairs without being winded.
