The rest pain you described is more likely because of a muscle pull due some sleeping position, cardiac origin pain would not be related to position you described with a Characteristic pressure like sensation which would increase on exertion, associated with some breathlessness. Avoid smoking if you are used too as it will increase muscle soreness and some local warm compress and sos a analgesic for 2 days should help
