What could cause a chest pain on the right side?

---

I woke up yesterday with a dull chest pain on the right side under my breast, it is about 1cm above the breast bone. I thought maybe i slept badly but the pain came back later several times, lasted for a few seconds each time. And again today it has been on and off. It doesn't really hurt, it is just a dull pain but it worries me. What could cause this type of pain? Could it be a cyst in my breast? Liver problem? Lung problem? I am 39, don't smoke, and not overweight. Thanks!
I am a nursing student. I recently studied the causes of pain in the thoracic region (chest). If the pain is on the right side it is not your heart and could most likely be gallstones because that is where your gall bladder is located. You should probably get it checked out just to see.  (+ info)

what is the upper chest pain i have after a weekend of watersports?

---

After returning from a weekend of wakeboarding, stand up jet skiing, tubing & swimming, I have severe upper chest pain that i can also feel in my upper back. Still a week later it hurts to breathe deeply. And when i lay on my back, it hurts to get up. At the gym, it hurts to lift weights. While i run it hurts when i bounce. What muscle has been affected? Is it serious or do i just need a few weeks for it to repair itself?
you may have cracked a rib or severly bruised a muscle - a week later muscle soreness would have passed.

What could cause a sharp chest pain when inhaling?

---

What could be causing a sharp, centered chest pain when I inhale deeply? It has been occurring for almost a week now. I had a small sinus surgery three weeks ago and do not think it is an infection because I am not coughing up any mucus. I work out regularly and I'm only 16.
Any docs here?
I don't feel like telling my parents and having to go to the hospital to get checked out.
the same thing happened to me when I was at holiday world. I drank like five cups of water and it felt better after that! you might be dehydrated. I get dehydrated at home even because I don't drink enough water. try drinking water and remember to keep breathing even though it hurts.  (+ info)

What should I do if I have unexplainable upper back and chest pain?

---

For a week I've been having this horrible pain in my chest everytime I swallow. For 3 days the pain went to my back. So now I have both upper back and chest pain, everytime I swallow. I went to my doctor 3 times and to the Emergency Room once, but they have no solution. I tried Motrin, Mylanta, Advil, and Ibuprofen. Yet, no medicine works. Is there anything I can try or do to relieve this pain? I have not been able to eat or even drink a simple thing like water without pain.
Have you been vomiting?
Did you recently choke on something?
Stop the Advil/Ibuprofen (same thing) and take Mylanta at least 4 times a day (after meals and before bed). Eat 6 small meals a day instead of 3 large ones and try to always have something in your stomach. Thick foods may be easier to swallow (milk shakes, puddings etc.).Stay away from acidic, spicy and greasy foods.
Get a referral for a GI (gastrointestinal) specialist.  (+ info)

Can you tell me some causes of chest pain besides a heart attack?

---

I get this pain often, so I know it isn't a heart attack. What else can cause chest pain?
DO NOT LISTEN to any of these answers. No one knows what they're talking about. It's the price you may pay by asking medical questions online. Why 'you may pay'? Because you are likely to choose the answer that makes you feel the most comfortable. Here's where you can make a big mistake. You are risking your health, and I put that lightly. You can't ask questions in this field, particulary directed to laymen, and this is just what you're doing. These people may answer you as if they know what they're saying is right and this is unbelievable to me. I'm sick to death of using the excuse that they are well intentioned.

PEOPLE: Giving medical advise, OF ANY KIND, is not for you to give, much less it being a federal offense. You may think you are not doing this, but you are. You are putting people in danger by being on this site as a participant. If you really care, you will heed my advise.

Please, get your chest pain checked out. No one even knows your age, not to speak of medical history, but yet they have an opinion. An MD, without examination and history couldn't answer you. You can start by paying attention to your symptoms. Pain is a warning, and persisting pain needs attention.

Do the right thing, and take care of this.

What could be the cause?
You live in Minnesota, and you're constantly asking about California and Florida. All three states have a significant number of gay male residents. The symptoms you state are some times common in the earliest stages on HIV. Have you been tested lately?  (+ info)

Why am I getting a sharp pain in my upper chest when I breath and work out?

---

When I lift weights and work out I get this sharp pain in my chest especially during dips and other exercises that stress the chest. Even when not working out, I get the pain when I breath in deeply. The pain is more towards the right side of my body and it is pretty deep into the chest. I'm not sure if I'm getting this from a certain exercise that I have done or if it from something else.
when i take long runs i get a pain thats like that. Its like when i breath in deeply it hurts really bad, it feels like its behind the upper part of my ribs. The doctor told me it was only cramps though. He said to make sure i dont just start working so hard all at once kinda work up to it and it will help. Hope that helps man.  (+ info)

what is causing mild chest pain in the exact middle of the chest and feeling like I have to force myself to br?

---

I have been experincing a sensation that I have to force myself to breath and an exact mild discomfort pain in middle of the chest like near the esophoogas? Could it be anxiety,gerd, reflux or something else?
Sorry to hear that, I hate that feeling in the chest especially not knowing.

Anxiety is indeed one of the most common occurences these days, many people contribute their chest pains to a heart attack and they go to the hospital, they then find out it was an anxiety attack. I took a friend once and that's when I started to learn more. The problem is they send you on your way and that doesn't help people manage or control it.

Have a look here, this program has been getting good results, best of luck. :)

How does one stop chest pain after a car wreck?

---

My bf had a car wreck a few days ago. He went to the hospital got checked out and everything is fine. His chest hit the steering wheel and air bag exploded. He has taken his pain meds and it is too soon to take the next dose. Any suggestions on what he can do to ease the pain until time for the next dosage?
First thing he should do is call his doctor if he has one, if not possibly try an ice pack, but not for too long, just try and see if that makes it better or worse if that doesn't help try a little heat on it.  (+ info)
