Cause For Pain In The Left Side Of The Ribs?

Hi. My left side ribs have been pretty uncomfortable, and sometimes painful. I actually didnt do anything to it. When occurred I was sleeping, and woke up hurting. I didn t have a cough at the time, and now with the weather changes I have been a lil, and of course that makes it worse. What could have happened?
