I have a sharp pain on the left side of my ribs. It came out of no where last night and at first I thought I slept on it wrong but now it won't go away. I know it's only been a day but it's never happened before. The only relief I feel is if I'm laying on my right side

Hi Kaylee
Have you got a cough, or sneezed violently, if so you could have pulled a muscle, or even as l had the misfortune to do once, broken a rib.
I hope you haven't and hope you feel better soon

Anything from pneumonia, a pulled muscle, a cracked rib or a collapsed lung, or other things can give chest pain. You really should check with your GP or give the none emergency number a ring and get some medical advice. If the pain gets worse then perhaps you should attend A & E.
Sounds like pleurisy to me but you can't muck about with chest pain - especially on the left side! It feels much like broken ribs (I've had both). My first pleurisy just appeared overnight too, thought I'd cracked a rib in my sleep. The GP can tell through the stethoscope, it makes a rasping sound.
Good luck. Peege
best to get your self check out at a doctors could be a number of things , are you more short of breath with it ,
Definitely get it checked out, I have had pleurisy, once I had a pleural effusion. Another possibility is deferred pain from your left kidney.
Think I would ring 111 for advise ,Sounds like it could be plueracy??? Have you got/had a chest infection ,hope you feel better soon ,
I had 6 hours of such pain and was told it is GORD (Reflux) and now on Omneprezole
