What Causes Sharp Pain In Upper Right Side Of Chest?

While getting dressed this morning I had a sharp pain in the upper right side of my chest. While it lessened after I belched several times, I've had lesser pain on and off all day, which radiates from the right side of my chest to my mid back. Belching does seem to relieve the pressure, but the paid doesn't go away. Any suggestions?

Hi welcome to the health care magic

Here pain is right sided abdominal not severe enough and not on left side

It can be from referred pain of gastritis or chronic constipation

It could be musculoskeletal pain if no obvious cause found and pain aggravation by some movement..

According to cause specific treatment given

For gastritis antacid like pantoprazole prescribed

Here EKG also done to rule out cardiac cause although seem less likely

If abdominal pain associated than USG done

Take care

Consult physician for examination
