Occasional pain in the upper right chest
has nothing to do with drinking water or
tea. Pain on that location could originate
from the nerves, muscles or pleura.
Pain from the nerves (neuralgia) manifests
as a sharp sensation and comes from the
entire area innervated by the sensitive
nerve. Nerve pain can be due to pressure
on the nerves (spondylosis, for example)
or nerve inflammation (herpes zoster, for
example).
Muscle pain (myalgia) in the upper right
chest area could also originate from
muscle trauma or inflammation of the
muscles between the ribs. Muscle pain can
be localized and provoked by pressure from
the outside on an affected muscle or by
activating that muscle (breathing,
coughing, etc.).
Pleural pain (pleurodinia) is due to
pleurisy. Pleurisy is usually a
complication of a lung infection. It is
provoked by breathing and coughing.
You may visit a GP and take and X-ray
image of the chest to establish a
diagnosis for upper right chest pain.
