What Causes Pain In Right Side Of Chest At End Of Inhaling?
I had a sharp, stinging pain in my center, right side of my chest, about where my pectoral muscle starts. It only lasted about a minute and the pain seemed to come at the end of an inhale. I m not too particularly worried about it, but just curious as to what may have caused it

Thanks for your question on HCM.
Chest pain at the end of inhalation is seen most commonly due to muscle pain. But also seen in pleurisy (inflammation of pleura).
Causes of pleurisy are
1. Pleural effusion
2. Pneumonia
3. Trauma
So to rule out all these, chest x ray is needed.
So please get done chest x ray and if it is normal than no need to worry much.
It will be muscular pain only.
Take good painkillers and muscle relaxant, avoid weight lifting and heavy exercise.
