Chest pain
11 Answers
I've been having right sided chest pain for about three months now. I have a trapped nerve in my neck do I think it may be related. If I sit in certain positions, such as leaning back, I get a click inside my chest (right), it's like something locks and it's the most horrific pain I've ever felt. I have to adjust position immediately for it to go away. This happens regularly. I am a smoker. I feel as though something is growing in my lung (maybe paranoia). I've also started getting pins and needles in my legs whenever I use the toilet. Is it serious? I did go to my dr about my trapped nerve and they told me to comeback in a few weeks if it hadn't gone but I've had it for 8 years so felt as though the dr should have realised it wasn't going away on its own.

Well it certainly doesn' t sound like a heart problem or indeed a lung disorder.... ...certainly not cancer or pleurisy.
My bet is that it is a costochondra l problem..... .a muscular and cartilaginou s disorder.... .no big deal and it should be relieved by NSAIDs such as Ibuprofen

The signs and symptoms sound like something my hubby has had. Don't know about the pins and needles though, that could be related to the trapped nerve. However, hubby is a smoker and doc did chest xray and was diagnosed with the following. He gets it a couple of times a year and has been treated successfully.
Hope you are feeling better really soon and that your appointment goes well!
