What Could Cause Prickly Pain In Upper Right Chest?
Hello my husband is having prickly pains in on his upper right chest. It is not all the time. It s not when he is breathing. Just every now and then. He has had the pain for a couple of hours but for a few months he has had a dull ache under the right of his rib cage. Any ideas what this could be?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion it seems pain due to trapped nerve and muscular pull.
So better to follow these steps for symptomatic improvement.
1. Avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
3. Avoid movement s causing pain.
4. Start good painkiller and muscle relaxant.
5. Apply warm water pad on affected site.
6. Get done vitamin b 12 level and if deficient than start replacement. As vitamin b 12 is necessary for nerve repair and function.
