i am an 18 year old, 52 female and my weight is 108-112 lbs. for the past few days i have been having sharp pains in the right side of my chest that come and go throughout the day i know my heart is on the left side so i am wondering what part of me could be hurting and if i should go to the doctors for this or just ignore it.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry about heart diseases because your chest pain is only right side and heart diseases cause left sided chest pain. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid movements causing pain. 3. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 4. Take painkiller like ibuprofen. 5. Situated with proper back support. 6. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1 week.  If not improving after 1 week, then consult doctor.  Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
