Sharp pain in right side of chest?

At work I was hanging out with some friends and we started laughing really hard, this caused a random sharp pain that stayed for a few short minutes on my right side, it was pretty painful. I got worried since my anxiety sometimes causes sharp pains on the LEFT side of my chest. The laughing pain hasn’t came back, should I be concerned?

I have severe health anxiety, so every random pain I get is instantly cancer in my mind. I’d appretate the input, thanks.

    I get that all the time. It's NOTHING... pinched nerve. It comes and goes and comes and goes, until it's gone. Don't trip

    When people laugh u use alot of muscles and it can sometimes make pain happen or if u smoke a pain in chest can go from front to even your back sometimes when u breathe in u have a sharp pain in chest from pleurisy pockets that are infection...having anxiety sux i have had it for 26 years and i know how to control it most of the time number one no caffeine it fuels the anxiety ask your doctor I am right number two it sounds to me like you have fears of your body going wrong like the cancer that you first think that you have when something goes wrong with your body so that creates a fear the fears add up which creates more fears.. number 3 get into meditation or breathing exercises to calm your mind body and soul number 4 take time out for yourself everyday even if it's listening to calm music and breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth to get rid of carbon monoxide number 5 get God in your life he answers prayers not in your time in his time... he will change your life but you have to be completely committed to him there is a verse cast your burdens upon him and he shall sustain you which means any problems you have he will fix I look at it like this we are chess pieces and God makes his strategic moves but he always wins here's a fact for you did you know that God passed away at 33 years old and we have 33 vertebraes? Kinda blew my mind away when i found that out. Number 6 get on some medication if you don't want to take the medication doctors give you take what's called Gabba it's from GNC and it's a natural way to calm yourself it works with your brain signals and it works wonders if you need more than that from your anxiety being that bad get on valium it stays in your system longer than any benzaprine I would not suggest Xanax it is a short-lived medication it only stays in your system for a couple of hours and it's way more addictive if you ask me I think Xanax should be outlawed everyday I help one person and I picked you for today I hope what I have to say and have suggested for you to do helps you out and may you have a blessed day
