What Causes Pain In The Left Upper Back And Belching?

I woke up 5 hours ago with pain in my upper back. The pain is located on the left part of my back, just below the breast but in the back, not front. My thought was I slept "funny". A family member suggested gas pain. In the last 1/2 hour I have started belching. It has not helped. Thank you
