Is It To Be Concerned About The Minor Pain In The Chest?

I am experiencing minor chest pain on the upper right side of my chest. I had coffee earlier and I just worked out pretty strenuously which I do 5 to 6 times for at least an hour every week. I am in
good shape and eat very healthy. I did however have about 5-6 beers last night and smoked a cigar. Any ideas on what it could be and suggestions for the future?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry much for your mild right upper chest pain.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain due to strenuous work out is more in your case.
So avoid strenuous exercise and heavyweight lifting for 1-2 weeks.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
Take painkiller like ibuprofen.
Don't worry, you will be alright within 1 - 2 weeks.
For healthy future, better to quit smoking (cigar) and Alcohol (beer) as these are not good habits.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
