The right side of my chest hurts, what does this mean?

What does it mean if i have sharp pains in the right chest side and it hurts to breathe or move?

  • i cant lay down on my right side it hurts so bad. its really sharp pains just around my breast and the top of my rib cage. i need to know what it is or how to get rid of it.

  • Answer:

    It could mean something very simple, like a strained intercostal muscle, or something quite nasty, like an embolis or ulcerated cardiac sphincter... What it means mostly though is that you are wasting time waiting for an opinion from unqualified strangers when you should be at a medical centre, a doctor's surgery or a hospital.

It could be a kidney infection, I had massive pain around that area, but on both sides, and I went to the emergency room and that's what they told me.

are you a female, are you on birth control, do you smoke? You might have a pulmonary embolism or blood clot in the lung. have you had any preceeding calf pain or swelling? do you get short of breath or dizzy when you exert yourself? other differential diagnosis include costrochondritis, pulmonary contusion, if it doesnt go away, go to a doctor.
