Could The Pain In The Upper Chest Be Due To Gall Bladder Or Muscular?

45 year old female extremely physically active bench pressed and did boot camp classes Friday. Saturday night before bed had severe upper right chest pain into arm pit. No alcohol involved. At party and ate red meat & sausage. Not my normal everyday diet. Only relief I got for the pain was putting a heating pad on it. Half hour later disappeared no symptoms today. Could it be gallbladder or muscular ? thanks.

Hello

Right upper abdominal pain may be due to many reasons like acidity,gall bladder calculus,muscular spasm etc.
From history,pain is most likely due to muscular spasm.
However you need proper clinical examination and routine investigations.
Investigations include routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function test,ultrasound of abdomen.

Ultrasound of abdomen can exclude many conditions.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.You may need analgesics and muscle relaxants.You are rightly applying heat therapy.

Get well soon.
Take Care
