What Could Severe Chest Pain With Breathing Difficulty Suggest?
should I go to hospital? I have for the past eight hours had a pain in the right side of my chest, I am finding it hard to take a deap breath without feeling pain in the right lower side of my chest at the rib cage. The pain has spread to the top of my right arm and up the back of my neck. Feeling slightly dizzy at times ..... soudl I sleep on this and see how I am in the morning or shoud I go to a hospital?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely.
So apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest. Take painkiller like ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
Avoid movements causing pain. Sleep on right side.
You will mostly improve with all these.
If don't improve and have similar pain in the morning then consult doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
