Chest Pain Right Side

People often times misdiagnosed recurrent chest pain right side as a symptom of coronary disease. Truth is that there are various factors that might trigger pain in this specific area. That is why, it is best advice that once you are experiencing this on a regular basis, you should go ahead and consult your doctor.

There are times when the chest pain right side that you feel has no relation on your internal organs at all. Since the pain is concentrated on a specific area of your chest, it would be easier for you to self-diagnose your condition. Before consulting your doctor, try to remember if you have had any injury or neck problem in the past few days. This can possibly be the thing that is causing the pain on the right side of your chest.

Another thing that you might as well check is your food intake and medication. People who are regularly taking over-the-counter antacids often times experience chest pain right side due to the side effect of the medicine or what they call, the reflux disease. Try to gradually stop your intake of over-the-counter medicine and once you notice that the pain no longer occurs; you caught for yourself the culprit.

If otherwise, none of these is causing you chest pain right side, consult your doctor who can prescribe you with some laboratory tests you have to undergo. Usually, pain on the right side of the chest is caused by either a gallbladder problem or hepatitis. Once you consult the doctor, you will be given an electrocardiogram or chest radiograph which will show the condition of your chest cavity. An ultrasound might also be performed on you to detect if you have gallstones while blood test and tissue sampling from your liver will diagnose if you have hepatitis.
