What Causes Right-sided Chest Pain?

I m a 44 yo female. My upper chest has been hurting for about the last 2 hours. It s above my right breast. No history of heart disease. My blood pressure is 144/88. Which is normal for me. Nothing I do makes it worse or better. I m sitting here writing this and it s uncomfortable.. I don t want to overreact and think it s my heart, but I m concerned also. It feels like someone is sitting on my chest Any help you could give will be greatly appreciated
