Some common causes of right side chest pain are lung infections, gallbladder disease, pancreatitis, rib fracture, or shingles. These conditions can cause pain ranging from a mild dull pain to sharp stabbing pains that cause chest discomfort.
The primary cause of GERD is a compromise of the sphincter where the esophagus enters the stomach. This allows stomach acid to rise up the esophagus, irritating unprotected tissue and causing discomfort. Common causes of sphincter compromise include stomach ulcers, bacterial imbalance, hiatal hernia and stress.
