I have chest pain on my left side and shortness of breath, both only when laying down. when i'm up and about i cough a lot. what could this be?

Shortness of breath: together with chest pains may indicate pneumonia nor heart disease. The safest action is to go to the ER or Urgent care. Diagnostics are best done there.
