Back pain for 2yrs (upper & or lower)when changing from upright to laying &gets excruciating when i exhale.pain always stops after a few exhalations??

May be muscle spasms: Its possible that while changing your posture your back muscle suddenly spasms up. It thus hurts, in your case more on exhaling. The spasm goes away in a while, thus relieving pain. Regular excercizes to build up muscles including back muscles might help.
