A member asked:

What could cause pain below the heart and in the right side of the chest? should i rush to the er?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pain: there are multiple possible causes for pain such as you describe. Probably not heart but can't be sure without being checked out. If the pain is severe go to ER. If mild probably can wait and see your Doc=
