Yesterday I thought I was having a side ache from sitting sideways at work. But today it hurts to breath and the pain is on my right side from my belly button. Taking a deep breath hurts. I took Tylenol about 15 minutes ago but so far nothing. What could this be?
Hi, The location and movement of a pain gives clues as to what is going on. Internal organs near the diaphragm are moved by deep breaths and if inflamed cause pain. This can include the diaphragm, lung, or liver. Infection, trauma, tumor, or other causes of inflammation all can cause similar pain. Hope I have answered your query.
