Q. Why do I get right-sided chest pains when I sleep on my side?
Hello doctor,
I used to have right-sided chest pains, only when I sleep on my side. But since today, I feel a constant pain in my chest. Why am I having constant chest pain? Should I be worried?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thanks for posting your query.
- Right-sided chest pain could be due to a muscle catch, pleurisy, gastritis, lung infection, stones in the gallbladder, and liver problem. I need more information on the pain,
- Since how long it is paining?
- How is the pain? Is it burning, pricking or catching?
- Is the pain localized to the chest or does it radiate to the abdomen or back?
- Do you have a cough or breathing difficulty?
Kindly revert with these details.

Hello doctor,
Thank you for replying. I have these chest pains since a month. It is a catching kind of a pain and it is localized to the chest. I do not have a back pain. But I do have a very mild cough.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- Pain from a month is unlikely due to a muscle catch unless your sleeping position is abnormal. If you are sleeping in normal position and if you are not riding a two-wheeler every day for more than four hours, then I do not consider it to be a muscle catch.
- It has to be something in the chest, the presence of a cough also supports it. It could be pleurisy, that is the inflammation of the lung covering, or a lung infection. I would recommend you to get a chest x-ray done and revert with the report.
- Till then, I suggest you try using tablet Zerodol-MR (combination of Aceclofenac, Paracetamol, and Tizanidine), two times a day. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent.
