Have it checked : Depending on how long you've had your jaw pain, may determine how serious it is needed to be followed up. If you suspect that you may have a heart issue, then it's time to call your doctor to verify that you do or don't have it, and get peace of mind. Women often have atypical signs for a heart attacks. So it may not even be left-sided. Any concern warrants having it checked by your doctor.

Not Normal: Have a dentist check for a chronic abscess in a tooth in the right jaw. If higher in the jaw it could be a TMJ problem.
