After sitting all day at work by the end of the day a lot of pain below ribs, tightness in chest. then when laying down tightness and hard to sleep.

Chest tightness: I suggest seeing a Physician. Coronary artery disease would be unusual at your age however I still recommend ECG, Chest x ray and other tests to rule out a serious cardiac or lung disorder. Symptoms could also be due to asthma or a musculoskeletal disorder. Physician consultation and exam is highly recommended.
