Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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
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.
