Ok so I m a 24 year old smoker, mom of two about 15 pounds overweight. Well everytime I lay on my right side I get stabing pains in my heart on the left side, it hurts so bad that I have to slowly roll onto my left side to make the pain go away, have you heard of this before ?
Hi thanks for asking question. Noted you have habit of smoking. This type of stabbing pain can occur if pleura is inflamed or infected. So pleural effusion also can lead such pain. Chest x-ray in lateral decubitus procedure is done. Treated accordingly. Here pleural affection may be secondary to pneumonia like infection if fever and cough also present. Chest x-ray can reveal consolidation. Let me know you smoker can have more chance for interstitial fibrosis.X-ray will be useful. If still causes not clear ECG can be done for cardiac causes. If still no cause identifiable then it might be Costco Chat Doctor. Wish you good health. Regards;
