You should see your doctor.  This sounds like possible bronchitis or even pneumonia.  It would be best to have it checked out.  

Take care and feel better.

If you are having any breathing problems they worsen somewhat when you are lying down. As to why you are not bothered when you lie on your right side, I do not know.
