What Causes Pain In The Chest On The Right Side?

An unusual pain at upper right chest that lasted about 5 to 10 minutes. Had minor sweat in the right side of the head in the back. Never had this before. I was resting and reading a book when this happened. What could be the problem. The pain was not severe but a bit uncomfortable and alarming since I never had this before in my 70 years of life. --- Tom

Hi,

Sudden chest pain (though right side) with sweating when resting may alarm underlying developing cardiac event in form of compromised blood supply or else.

I recommend to get an EKG with your physician at earliest.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
