Suggest Treatment For Sharp Pain In Right Side Of The Chest

Hi, I am a 45 year old female, after taking 2 pills this morning there has been a series of sharp pains on the right side of chest {the pain started as soon as I took the medication} that has continued throughout the day. This has me worried. Should I be concerned? I have been on this medication for well over a week now and have not had any previous problems. Thank you,Kathern

Sharp pain in the chest whether on the right side or on the left side should not be ignored. This may be a symptom of heart attack. Hence you have to consult a physician immediately; he will advice ECG - a simple non-invasive test which will reveal the presence of a heart attack which may need immediate treatment.
