Q: Could right side chest pain that radiates be a warning sign that I’ve had a minor heart attack?
I was recently diagnosed with blood clots and have been having TIAs or mini-strokes. The other day I had an unexplained pain in the right side of my chest radiating down my right arm and into my back. I got very sick to my stomach. This feeling past after about 15mins, but reoccured later that night. I found rest helped.
A: With your background I would suggest seeing your doctor.
from what I hear a person can have pains just about anywhere when suffering with a heart attack. But, it could be a pulled muscle, indigestion or a host of other things.
Q: What causes brief right side chest pain?
I’m 20 years old and the pain only lasts for a second but it keeps coming back. I’m not having shortness of breath nor do I feel light headed.
A: This sounds like a muscle spasm, possibly
a pinched nerve, or if it were closer to the
center of the chest might even be GERD.
I suspect it is likely a result of posture causing
a strain on the spine.
It is hard to make a good guess, and could
even be caused by a bra putting strain on the
nearby nerves.
Drink more water, and avoid caffeine, alcohol,
smoking and artificial sweeteners.
If the pain persists or worsens, consult your Physician.
Good Luck~
Q: What could be the cause of this chest (upper right side) pain?
Wednesday I ate and half hour later I threw up everything I ate. Thursday I start feeling a light chest pain but today it takes a whole different level: I can’t yarn, laugh, caught nor take deep breaths. I have insurance but it’s such a hassle to go to the ER and get an X-ray now (10:20 PM for me now). If you were in my position right now, would you be worried about this pain? I am in my mid 20s….
A: Definitely go into the ER something could be seriously wrong. Do you know if you have asthma (do you have chest tightness as well?)? You may also have some sort of chest infection or something. If I was in your position I would go into the ER since it is better safe then sorry, sure it will take a while but if there is something seriously wrong then that time was well wasted.
Q: right side chest pain hearts when deep breath, touch or move?
having right side chest pain since two weeks done X- rays,EKG and blood test from lugs result came out as a normal but, still pain is there even when I breath,move or touch what it could be and what could be the cure?
A: right side yes? if that is case then unlikely anyhting to do with heart as heart is on left side. this can be several things such as broken rib, lung problem, pulled or stressed pectoral (brest/chest) muscle, or even a throat problem – not just typical sore throat, more like a cancer or something. Most likely it is muscular and without muscle relaxants you may never get better, or at least not for long time. Especially if you are worried about it which makes muscle tense up. The muscle has to relax to heal. HAs to. Outside of going to doc, some streetwise ways of dealing with any strained muscle are getting drunk which relaxes you and often sleep long & relaxed too, a very good and long massage, sauna, or heat combined with relaxing music. All those have to be followed by babying the injured muscle for a while.
Q: I have right side chest pain it’s about a 5 on a scale og 1 to 10?
It’s in my back and on my chest to under my right Brest. I’ve had acid reflux lately if that has anything to do with it. My doctor did a EKG and blood test everything came out fine if you know what it help please! It also is on the left sometimes.
A: YOU MAY WANT TO KEEP TRACK OF YOUR DIET – YOU MAY BE GETTING A GALLBLADDER ATTACK – TRY WITH A LOW PROTEIN AND LOW FAT DIET FOR AWHILE IF THAT IS FEASIBLE FOR YOU – PROVIDING THAT YOU ARE NOT A DIABETIC
AND IF THAT DOESN’T DO THE TRICK HAVE YOUR MD SUGGEST A GI MD – YOU MAY HAVE TO BE DOPED THEN SCOPED (IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN)
Q: i have chest pain in the centre of my chest and someitmes towards right side?
sometimes i feel pain towards right side of chest and all over, does anybody have idea what could b the cause?
i did ECG & CBC test but was normal.
A: You need to get seen by a doctor! Chest pain can NOT be diagnosed on a website! Go to the doctor!
btw – whether the chest pain is on the left or right is irrelevant to heart problems, the fact that it’s in the middle is a concern and then it radiates to one side! You are risking getting uneducated answers on here, so please just go to your doctor and get checked. Goodluck!!
Q: 38 weeks pregnant and pain in right side chest when exhaling?
I’m 38 weeks pregnant and I have pain in the right side of my chest just nder my ribs when I exhale, its hard to take in a full deep breath. I should have more room in my chest now to breath since my baby has already lowered in to my pelvis as far as she can go without breaking my water. It feels as though something is under my ribs though causing pain and this is new.
A: When that sensation occurred to me; my doctor said it was due to my organs being pushed up, but it would be relieved after giving birth to the baby. Afterwards, yes I could breathe better but still had pain. Went to my chiropractor and found out that my little had actually kicked a rib out of place; he popped it back in and i’ve been smooth breathing ever since. I hope you get to feeling better soon.
Q: I have upper right side chest pain that feels like a bubble behind my chest….?
I have upper right chest pain that fels like a bubble behind my chest?….it has been going on for about two years now…..
it not ever horribly severe….but somtims it hurts when i laugh or breath deep….
im only 26……??? what could this be?? i have gone to the docter , and they said my ekg was normal….and that the green stuff i cough up was from allergies….and that my lungs sounded fine
A: relax!!!!!! its nothing but just a hyper acidity, and pain due to gas pressure at chest lavel. Just simply takes some antacid before meals and walk a bit after meals.Its not dangerous if treated in time…
Q: having chest pain, right side, when inhaling?
I have been having chest pain on the right side which isn’t severe but intensifies when I inhale. I have been drinking plenty of fluids, what can this be? Im 21 and quit smoking a while ago.
A: That sounds like what is called pleurisy. Have you had a recent illness? Sometimes viral or bacterial infections can cause this in young people. Also, there is a condition known as pneumothorax which can occasionally happen as well… happens when air begins to leak outside of your lungs and into the thorax. But with a pneumothorax, you will often have trouble actually breathing and get short of breath. There are of course other causes like trauma to your ribs or another condition called costochondritis. I would just try taking some NSAIDs just in case it’s something like costochondritis. Otherwise, if you’re not having trouble actually breathing, I’d hold out for now and see if it goes away in a few days.
Q: Right side chest pain ?
I have pain left side of my right breast on occasion and especially after running hard…not sure what this could be. I do have asthma but it is well controlled I would say (don’t need inhaler during run) and anxiety …but it just seems unrelated only cause usually when running All i am thinking about is running…any ideas? Its like an achy burn to the left of my right breast but not dead center of my chest…Not heartburn I don’t think
Thanks for any ideas
A: I strongly suggest you see an internist for your symptoms. They can perform diagnostic testing and then properly diagnosis your current condition. At that point, an appropriate treatment plan can be determined and aid in your recovery.
Good luck.

Q: Right side chest pain 29 year old pregnant female!?
Starting yesterday morning before breakfast I noticed a pain in the right side of my chest and it radiated into my right arm. This lasted about two minutes and caused some major discomfort. The day progressed without incident and then last night I felt the right sided chest pain again for another couple of minutes without the arm pain. It went away and a couple of hours later I went to bed. Well I woke up with the chest pain but it only lasted a couple of minutes. I am concerned because I’ve never had discomfort from my chest before. I am 7 weeks pregnant and battling a mild cough and scratchy throat without fever. My regular doctor has moved and I don’t see my obgyn until Dec. 17th. Thanks for any information.
A: Honestly this sounds like gas….and after people have surgery they often have little pains in there shoulder which is gas pain…even though we feel gas can’t get up there it can…I am a nurse and I know that sounds funny but it is possible..I had a broken leg and had surgery..everything is slowed while your under anesthesia and I woke up with pain in my shoulder….Dr. said it was gas trapped. This actually has happened a couple of times ans passes. Kinda like charlie horses..why do they happen, and then for years you don’t have them?? Who knows. Also during pregnancy our cardiac sphincter relaxes that allows more acid to come up through esophagus causing some upper GI problems for women. That would not worry me..
Q: Right side chest pain hospitalized somethings ruled out. At a loss.?
I was hospitalzed for 4 days for right side chest pain just below the breast that radiates into my back. I also had some pain below my rib but not severe. A tightness in my left chest area that I did not even mention b/c I thought it was heart burn. The results show my gallbladder was fine. I have a ruptured ovarian cyst, pericaritis, and a paracardial cyst. I had them release me on friday b/c they only intended to treat w/ pain meds over the weekend and I have a baby at home. My main complaint is the pain in my right side right below the breast bone any ideas what else this could be? My son got RSV and pneumonia and I got the rsv from him. I coughed for 5 weeks. They also ruled out pneumonia in the ct scan. Could I have a cracked rib or something causing this much pain?? I am sick of hurting and do not want to take pain meds anymore. I just want it fixed!!
Just want to add that I went back to the Dr. today and CT confirmed I have Pleurisy (sp?). That is the cause of my pain. The dr basically says anti-inflammatories and time will heal it. I’m on 800mb IB every 6 hours. Hope it heals up soon!!
A: Well, if they couldn’t give you a diagnosis at the hospital with access to lab tests, imaging, and the ability to examine you, then I surely can’t here, but I do want to just throw the possibility out there that you may have strained an intercostal muscle by coughing, which might cause pain like you’re describing, but the only fix for that is time…
Q: right side chest pain after eating?
i have noticed that i have been getting pain in the right side of my chest, almost like a pounding muscle pain, the pain spreads to my right shoulder sometimes, and my underarms area. This always happens after i eat as far as i’ve noticed. What could be causing this?? i am 5′10.5″ weigh 180lb’s and im only 18.
i’ve had chest pain a couple years ago, went to the doctor and the doctor said it was nothing. it was just my chest muscles developing. i dont know if this could be the same, or helpful to what im experiencing right now
I would appreciate your help
A: It could be an ulcer or a gallbladder problem, reflux, or something else altogether. Best to see a doctor for testing.
