Every time I take a breath the right side of my chest hurts...

Okay so I just woke up. And all of a sudden the right side of my upper chest really hurts whenever I take a breath. Its like heartburn. I don’t know if its from the way I sleep or what not because I sleep on my right side. This has happened once or twice. What to do??

Answer #1

The same thing happens to me,but not when I wake up. I went to the ER one night for it. They told me I have a “Virus” that is never going away. They told me to take a Tynoel and it should help.

Answer #2

this happens to me all the time, and my all friends have the same problem, im not exactly sure what it is, but you should be fine (:

Answer #3

that’s angina pectoris or chest pain… what you do to stop the pain is by drinkin a glass of water and rest in a bit…

it’s usually caused by stress, too much coffee or cigarette…

Answer #4

If it’s happened before, then you are sure to know it will go away.

I get pains like the one you are describing often, and I don’t know if it’s the same thing, but for me, the cause of it is because the pleura between the ribs and lungs thin out, causing the lungs to rub against the ribs. It’s worse whenever I take a breath, because the lungs fill with air.

It could also be a muscle spasm, or as you said, you slept the wrong way.

If it’s a regular occurring pain, it doesn’t hurt to let a doctor check it out.
