What Causes Right Sided Chest Tightness And Pain?
Hi I have been experiencing chest pain on my upper right side. The pai has been there for over an hour and is getting worse, it hurts when I breath and even more when I take deep breaths it starts to feel like my chest is starting to close or tighten. I am a 22 year old female. What should I do? I don t want to go to the ER unless its really serious

HI
This needs evaluation for the following possibilities--pneumonia or a pulmonary embolus
You need an exam and a chest x-ray at the very least
