What's the matter with the choking pain above the right chest

As we all know, the chest of the human body has the most important organs. Once there is pain in this area, it must be that the patient has a disease or physical injury. Some people have encountered the symptom of choking pain above the right chest in their lives, but they don’t know the specific cause of this symptom. So, what is the cause of choking pain above the right chest?

First, what is the cause of the choking pain above the right chest? The pain in the right chest is caused by chest muscle strain. Chest muscle strain usually occurs after carrying heavy objects. The pain is severe when doing exercises such as "chest expansion". At this time, you can apply some blood-activating external medicine. If we expand our chest excessively, stretch our arms to pick up objects from high places, carry heavy objects, or are hit by external forces, it may cause damage to the pectoralis major and intercostal muscles, thereby causing pain. This degree of pain is generally mild, so you don't need to be too nervous, just pay attention to rest. Pleurisy, also known as pleurisy, is often accompanied by symptoms such as cough, fatigue, loss of appetite, and high fever. You need to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. Lung infection needs to be diagnosed based on the patient's medical history and whether symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath and excessive sputum occur. In addition, a chest X-ray can be done to check the infection status.

Second, degenerative protrusion of the thoracic intervertebral disc, thickening and ossification of the joint capsule and ligaments often lead to narrowing and deformation of the nerve channels, which can cause inflammation of the intercostal nerves and produce pain. Other lesions that may affect the intercostal nerves include thoracic tuberculosis, thoracic fracture or dislocation, spinal or spinal cord tumors, ankylosing spondylitis, and rib, mediastinal, and pleural lesions. The pain of herpes zoster intercostal neuralgia is often severe. Intercostal neuralgia is not common, but it sometimes occurs. When you are particularly tired or sleep too deeply, one posture may put pressure on a certain rib for too long. Sleeping with the window open may cause one of the intercostal muscles to get cold. When doing a certain movement, the intercostal muscles are stretched and injured, which can also cause chest pain.
