I'm having a constant pressure on the right side of my chest. Not really affected by my breathing or laying down. Sometimes I can feel it in my right shoulder blade and have weird not quite numbness but something in my right arm. It's been off and on, but as of late it has been very constant
In my opinion, we should rule out lung pathology (pleural effusion or infection) for your right-sided chest and shoulder symptoms. So get done chest x-ray. If the chest x-ray is normal, then no need to worry about lung diseases. Sometimes pulled muscle can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid movements causing pain. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of the chest. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like ibuprofen and thiocolchicoside. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar
