It could be a lot of things, and you really need a doctor to examine you to know for sure.  One thing could be a floating rib.  You may be pressing it in when you sleep on your stomach.  Or it could be something completely different.  An x-ray would help.  So would a few other tests that only a doctor can do in person.

If you are sleeping on your stomach, you hold that position for a long time. Your stomach receives most of your body's weight. Using firmer mattresses can help distribute weight evenly. Try latex mattress. This will provide a balanced sense of comfort and support.
