Chest discomfort upper right
by wildbeagle, May 02, 2007 12:00AM
Upper right chest pain, into shoulder and then neck, jaw and ear. Consistent like indigestion that won't go away, antacids helping some...not much. Rapid pulse. Gallbladder removed last year, problems ever since. Any thoughts, or not enough information? We are having a storm will write more later if necessary.

Has a chest xray been done to rule out any rib fracture, chest infection, or air in the pleural space?
There could be several causes of the symptoms you are having including a muscle pull, injury or trauma at the site, chest infection, etc.
Do you have any associated symptoms?
You should apply some local pain relief medications, take some oral pain relief medications, maintain a proper posture throughout the day, try some warm compresses.
You could take some antireflux antinausea medications and see if they help with your symptoms - this could be pain due to reflux or GERD.
Consult the doctor if the symptoms persist and discuss whether you need to get any investigations including a chest xray and ECG done.
Let us know about how you are doing and if you need any other information.
Regards.
