What Could Sharp Chest Pain With Low Grade Fever Suggest?

Hi I have a sharp pain on and off in the right side of upper chest. It comes at the heights of breath (not each breath) or just like that. I am also having low grade fever in evenings these days which clear by morning on its own. I was a smoker (less than 10 a day for 8 years) and have left smoking for last 9 months. Please help me. Regards.

Hi,

Thank you for asking your question on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query. Given your history of smoking and the kind of chest pain along with fever that you have described, this might suggest you may be suffering from bronchitis/ lung infection/ pleuritis. I suggest you get a Chest X-ray to rule out the same. Also, if you have a cough along with sputum, get a sputum analysis done. Get a routine blood test done and show these reports to your doctor.

I hope I have answered your query. In case you have any further questions, kindly let me know.

Best,
Dr Vishesh
