i have sharp pain in right side of chest while sleeping it goes worst this pain is from 5 days what should i do i need help is this a serious problem ? and it pains me more while deep breathing and cough .
Welcome to the forum!
Chest pain aggravated by laughing yawning and deep breathing goes more in favor of costochondritis, which causes pain and tenderness at points where your ribs attach to your breastbone. An orthopedic doctor can diagnose this for you.
Another possibility is that can explain the pain is pericarditis. It causes chest pain aggravated by laughing yawning and deep breathing and also causes radiation of pain to arms. EKG, heat echo and chest X-ray is required. Any history of fever before this pain started?
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
