A member asked:

I am having pain on right side of chest with deep breath could this be muscle if pressed on with deep breath almost no pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: With you descriptions sound musculature. Did you injury yourself? Trauma? Excessive exercise? Apply heat and see if gets better. Also can try Tylenol (acetaminophen) or motrin
