A member asked:
What are the possible causes of pain in the right side of my chest when exercising?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several: It may be related to your chest muscles, ribs or lungs (pleurisy). It may also be related to liver and gallbladder inflammation. A doctor should evaluate what makes the pain worse and what improves it to make a definitive diagnosis. It is usually not heart related, but only your doctor can say for sure.
