What Causes Pain On The Right Side Of The Chest?

I always get these awful pains on my right side of my chest, i wouldn t say exactly my chest but it s more like under my collar bone. it s a really deep pinching feel. almost as if a vein is being pinched. it s a really uneany feeling and I m concerned as heart problems run in my family.

Hi,

You can use a hot pad on the area/take over the counter pain medicine Ibuprofen for home management.

The pain you are asking about seems to be more likely to be a pain due to a compressed nerve in the neck region (Brachial plexus) by a cervical rib/higher up at cervical spine.

Apart from getting heart problem excluded by a cardiologist (for your satisfaction) you should get x-ray cervical spine neck region to confirm the causative factor & get specific treatment by an orthopedic surgeon.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
