Most people are familiar with left-sided chest pain and how it can indicate serious heart problems, such as a heart attack or other heart diseases.
Right-sided chest pain is not usually talked about as often, but can still indicate a variety of problems.
Pain in the right side of the chest can result from direct injury or inflammation of certain structures, or by referred pain. Referred pain is when pain originates in a different part of the body.
