Right Chest Discomfort
by EastofMS, Jul 21, 2009 09:07PM
I am a 58 year old male. My ascending thoracic aorta is at 4.0 cm. For the past three weeks I have experienced mild chest discomfort on the right side just above the abdomen. This discomfort occurs mostly when I am sleeping and causes me to wake up but quickly fades away. A couple of times it occured while I was awake. It seems like a tightening. I workout by swiming or using the eliptical for 30 minutes 5 days a week. I have not experienced any increase in shortness of breath or other systoms etc.

I don’t think it’s possibly related to heart. However, you can get an EKG done. To me it appears like an intercostals muscle pain or costochondritis in which there’s inflammation of the costal cartilage and use of some over the counter analgesics like ibuprofen etc is enough. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
