Costochondritis?: Sometimes chest pain that is recurrent and reliable reproducible can be related to the way you sleep, thus being a musculoskeletal problem like, "costochondritis" which can be treated with over the counter remedies and a more stable regimen of exercise to better help your muscles stabilize your bones.
