Sudden colic in the right chest may be angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, lung disease, intercostal neuralgia, small joint disorder, and shingles.
1. Sudden right chest pain is most likely to be atypical angina pectoris, usually in the left precordial area or the sternum behind the severe colic, but this pain usually does not last long, often within a few minutes, can be relieved by resting and taking nitroglycerin symptoms.
2. If the pain lasts for a long time and is severe, the possibility of myocardial infarction needs to be considered, and an electrocardiogram and cardiac enzymology need to be done.
3. Lung diseases such as right pneumothorax or pulmonary embolism can also cause sudden right chest pain, and X-ray and arteriography are needed to rule out lung diseases.
4. Other diseases such as intercostal neuralgia, small joint disorder and herpes zoster may also present with right chest colic.
It is recommended to consult a doctor to identify the cause of the symptoms and to provide targeted treatment.
