Okay, I went to the doctor today. It turns out my condition is surprisingly trivial considering how much pain it has caused me.
A spasming muscle between my ribs.
It just reminds me of how frail the human body is when something so simple as that can prevent a person from doing the most basic of things (such as sleep and breathe normally). I was almost disappointed by the diagnosis. Like, "That's it??"
Anyway, the doctor gave me an anti-flammatory and I already feel significantly better. I still can't lay down to sleep, but I can angle myself much lower than I could, allowing me to sleep.
Thanks for all the posts!
