Suggest Treatment For Right-sided Chest Pain

default
Posted on Wed, 1 Jun 2016
Question: I have had a pain, on the right side of my chest, when I breath. I will move and the pain is pretty bad till I stop moving. It seems to be o k until I move again, sometimes right away sometimes much later. If I lay on my right side it goes away until I move. If I lay on my left side it hurts till I settle and/or move again. I have not taken anything for it but am thinking Aleve. I went for a walk this morning and had a couple of times of the discomfort. It seems to help if I put my left hand over the right side of my chest when I breath with this discomfort.
