I'm a hard working person as I spend around 14 to 16 hours a day using the computer. 2 weeks ago I started experiencing severe mid-back pain when I stand up, bend or even sleep. What could this be?

The mere act of sitting, especially for long hours, is considered a risk factor for developing low back pain; this occurs because of the absence of motion in the spine causes stretching of the ligaments in the spine, which impairs fluids from reaching the vertebral discs (poor blood circulation), ultimately resulting in insufficient amount of nutrients reaching the discs.
What to do? Change your sitting position, stretching exercises, stand-up for a few minutes every like one hour, keep your abdominal muscles stiff (this takes off some of the weight stress on your spine), choose a chair with a back and one that is dynamic (chairs that allow movement of the chair seat and back support independently).

Look up "ergonomics" which might help you adjust your environment to help reduce your fatigue and discomfort and increase your productivity.
