Often in the morning when i sleep and when i take a deep breath i feel pain in the lower lung area. (i mostly sleep on stomach). what could this be?

A few possibilities: It is hard to know for certain, but possibilities include gastric reflux, hiatal hernia, costochondritis. You could try an over the counter antacid for a week or so to see if it would help.
