You may: have strained a rib muscle or diaphragm muscle. Take some ibuprofen 400 mg three times daily with meals, and stretch your rib/ right side 3 times daily. If things don't get better in the next 72 hours, may need Xrays or CT of chest to see if you have a pneumothorax or something making noises in your chest cavity. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
