My little brother says when he drinks water he can feel a sharp pain on the right side of his chest. Is this something serious such as heart problems or it is something that just takes time to get over and in that case will it occur again in the future. He says its been happening for a while since he last ate which was about 10 hours ago. Please let me know what you think and what I should do to help him. Thank you.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. I would like to know how little your brother is. Also, probably he will require a detailed examination for the same. If he has difficulty swallowing liquids or solids then it is a problem with the food pipe. If not then it could be gastritis. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
