This question cannot be answered online. If you're an adult with chronic pain it is advised that you seek medical attention. Heart problems manifest as pains in different parts of the body, however this does not mean that you have cardiovascular problems. Just consult your family doctor as soon as possible.

it is possible you have chest or lung infection other possibility could be pleurisy (please i am not a doctor just advising) pleurisy is when the lung cannot get enough air and painful to breathe and may result in lung collapsing

edit: Also it could be just that you slept in wrong position mostly on belly or your one side was more lifted than other. I am now experiencing same pain and i slept today in a weird position.
