Hi welcome to the health care magic

Here according to history it seems to be trapezitis or musculoskeletal pain because of abnormal posture as presentation is after waking up from sleep...

If pain continues than further work up needed...
Like that of ESR estimation and chest x ray....

Ibuprofen can be taken for five days....

If having associates trouble breathing than Auscultation should be done

Consult orthopedic surgeon for examination and further work up

Take care
