What Causes Right-sided Pain In The Stomach Suddenly While Lying Down?
Maybe. I was laying down, trying to take a nap and suddenly I had a very sharp pain on my right side. Quite unusual for me. When I pushed on the spot, it went away, but I can still feel the residual pain, but no sharpness. I dont have a temperature, but not sure what caused it. is it in my digestive system?

Hi,
If it is on the right side most probably it can be from cholecystitis an inflammation or infection of the gallbladder.
You should do a liver chemistry and total blood count and maybe an ultrasound.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
