Im having extreme pain in the right side of my chest area to side and back. it hurts when i sit to stand and lay to get up. what could this be?

Doctor can evaluate: A person with "extreme pain" anywhere in his body should be seen by a doctor (extreme pain is a sign that something is wrong). In the chest area are the lungs, the heart, the esophagus (food pipe), the upper spine and its nerves, etc... With such symptoms, calling 911 for the ambulance will get one to the E.R. Quickly and safely.
