Why is there pain on the right side of my chest? Many situations should be taken seriously

The cause of the right chest pain depends on the specific situation. Common causes include overwork, costochondritis, and intercostal neuralgia. In addition, you should also be alert to some lung or liver diseases.

First, as to what is causing the chest pain, it depends on the nature of the pain. Try pressing on the painful area to see if it hurts more. There are many possible situations, including the following:

1. Intercostal muscle strain caused by excessive labor or lifting heavy objects, so when stretching your arms or exercising, the intercostal muscles will contract and cause chest pain;

2. Costochondritis is more common in young people of your age, and it occurs when you are cold, tired, stressed, have a low immune system, or have a viral infection.

3. Intercostal neuralgia, mostly needle-like lightning-like pain, is caused by abnormal stimulation of the intercostal nerves or occlusion of the intercostal muscles. It is also related to body position and movement, and there are large individual differences. For such patients, local plasters and painkillers can be used for treatment, which usually relieves automatically in 1 to 2 weeks.

Pain on the right side of the chest in daily life may also be caused by a strained chest muscle. This disease often occurs with a history of lifting heavy objects, and the pain is obvious during activities. It can be treated by applying topical medications such as safflower oil. Intercostal neuralgia, heart problems, pulmonary hepatitis, etc. can also cause right chest pain. Therefore, there are many reasons for right chest pain. Patients must go to a professional liver disease hospital for a thorough examination and receive standardized treatment as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary worries.

Second, if you want to know what is causing your chest pain, you should first look at the accompanying symptoms, such as if it is lung disease, pleurisy, angina pectoris, etc.

It is often accompanied by other respiratory symptoms, such as coughing and expectoration. The pain also has certain characteristics. When taking a deep breath or coughing, the chest pain will be aggravated. The discomfort and pain of the heart will be accompanied by palpitations, etc., so you should not have this problem. Because the nature of your pain is closely related to your body position, it is still a problem of the chest wall, that is, the possibility of intercostal muscle strain or costochondritis is relatively high. So you don't have to worry too much. If you are really worried, the following suggestions are recommended: It is recommended that you go to the outpatient department of the thoracic surgery department of a regular tertiary hospital, take a chest X-ray examination, and rule out diseases inside the chest cavity; take painkillers and external plasters; pay attention to rest and diet, improve bad living habits, ensure sleep, and relax.

Third, this problem may be related to liver disease, because clinically many hepatitis B patients have pain in the right chest, which usually indicates that the liver is severely damaged. Because the right chest is normally where the liver is located, when the liver is severely damaged, the capsule on the surface of the liver will swell. There are abundant nerves on the capsule, which will cause the patient to experience symptoms of right chest pain.

Experts say: When hepatitis B patients experience right chest pain, they should take it seriously. The most important organ in the right chest is the liver. Right chest pain means that the liver has begun to be damaged and is caused by stimulation of the nerve mucosa on the surface of the liver. This means that the hepatitis B virus has replicated in large quantities and the liver has suffered substantial damage. The condition of hepatitis B patients is not optimistic. It is recommended to go to a regular liver disease hospital as soon as possible for antiviral, anti-fibrosis and liver protection treatment, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous if the condition deteriorates further. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with pain in the liver area go to a regular liver disease hospital for a comprehensive examination in time, and the doctor will provide symptomatic treatment based on the results of the examination.
