Is an unusual chest pain in the right side a symptom of a heart stroke?


I am under medication "zimvastatin 10mg" due to high levels of cholesterol in my blood. Today I'm having an unusual pain in the right side of the chest. The pain comes on & off. Quite difficult when the pain comes. I did not tell anyone yet. I am in my office. Can anyone please tell me immediately why I have this? It will be of help if any doctor can see this query and answer me.
Thanks.

You should go see your doctor...

It could be ANYTHING, from heart attack, to indigestion..
You should see a doctor. It could be Angina or a heart attack or your body isn't liking your medication.
Take an aspirin and go to the emergency room!
It could be maybe a minor heart attack , costocondritous im no doctor .. but if i where u should see me
whatever dr that put u on these meds needs to be contacted. usually ur dr.s office has an after hrs number where ur doc is on call and can call u back and tell u what to do. if this has started after u taking this med, it probably isnt the right one for you. keep in mind though dnt take any chances, if this persists, i know it is late and a hassle, u need to go to the emergency room where you can be monitered. you dont want to take any chances. good luck.
the only reason i would NOT get an EKG and cardiac enzymes is if pushing on that same spot recreated the pain you are having.

GO TO ER right away!
Since you obviously have at least one risk factor for a heart attack (high cholesterol) you need to be seen in an ER right away. Chest pain is not something to mess around with. I've seen people be totally fine and be having an MI (heart attack), or they are screaming in pain - the symptoms run the gammet.
