Something similar happened to me about a week ago - I woke up with excruciating pain in my abdomen, around rib height, painful to the point where I couldn't straighten my legs out, couldn't roll over and couldn't breathe. I also felt like I was going to throw up, but couldn't make it to the bathroom because it hurt to move too much. After about 20, 30 minutes, it started to abate, so I fell asleep again. I was absolutely fine the next morning, but I rang a doctor anyway (I was worried because I have some other medical conditions that may involve organ failure!) but he said that it was likely just a severe muscle cramp caused by my lifestyle (sitting at desks or at computers for too long) or I'd been sleeping in an odd position.
If it happens again, or if you're worried about it, get it checked out - but if it was just random and hasn't left you with any effect or lingering pain...probably just one of those things! Hope it doesn't happen again to you!
