What Does Pain In Ribs And Chest On The Right Side Indicate?
I have pain in my ribs/chest on my right side and it hurts to breath deeply...the pain is only noticeable at night and increases as the night progresses. The only thing I can think may be wrong is that a few days ago I breathed in some very strong fumes while cleaning (accidentally mixed cleaner with bleach) do you think this may be the problem? As mentioned...it only feels sore at night,as I am laying down. Thank you.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There might be two reasons. First, as you mentioned the fumes. This would take time to heal up completely. Secondly, the weather. Is it cold where you stay? This leads to spasm of muscles between your ribs. You need some pain medications for it to settle down and some hot fomentation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
