My wife is having sharp pain on the right side. It feels like it is in her lung. This happened all of a sudden while just sitting. Does anyone know what this can be? Thanks for any help.
(This isn’t gas nor heartburn)

If it is exclusively upon inhalation, it could be what is called a viral pleuritis. It’s nothing to be too concerned about, but it can be painful and usually just takes time for it to go away. It usually follows a recent respiratory infection or cold.
Sometimes it can be a sign of pneumonia as well, which is a bit more severe. You can have viral pneumonia (which again takes time to get over). You can also have bacterial pneumonia which often requires antibiotics to recover from. If she’s having a significant fever (ie, over 101), then she should probably see a doctor to rule out infection/pneumonia.
