What Causes Pain In Right Side Of Chest?
I m scared.? Sometimes, I feel pain on my right chest and I can t move because it hurts alot. It happens everytime I m feeling hot. But now it attacks me everytime. But I remember when I was on 6th Grade, my right chest was bumped by the bumper car steering wheel and I can t breathe deeply. I m not sure if that s the reason. Now, I m on 8th Grade it still hurts but more. Well, I was never checked up about this thing.

Hello,
You have history of trauma on the chest by a car many years back. Now you have pain and discomfort in the right side of the chest. The pain may be indicative of some trauma / injury or inflammation, untreated rib fracture, sternum injury, lung injury, etc. A blow on the chest can also cause injury to the heart, blood vessels, etc. Even a minor injury can cause chest pain for days after the injury. Deep breathing, coughing, or sneezing can increase the pain.
Rib fracture causes pain get worse on deep breathing or coughing or when the injured area gets pressed. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP or orthopedics, get imaging tests and other routine investigations (blood tests and urinalysis) done to detect the pathology causing you discomfort. You will be accordingly treated at the earliest. In the meantime, for relief you can take antacids and pain relieving medicines like Combiflam or Naproxen, one SOS when needed after food.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
