    Does it help if you stretch your arm over your head & bend to the side stretching your right side?? Generally helps me when I experience what sounds to be the same thing.
    Also I agree to try the panadol if nothing else helps, if you dont like taking medication maybe just take one or two before bedtime & try to put up with it through the day?

    I hope something helps, I know it's so painful!

    Could it be indigestion? I know it sounds weird, but I have a hiatus hernia and sometimes get the exact pain you describe. It is really painful to inhale and it is on one side. When it happens to me I have some Mylanta which helps, but you still have to ride it out.

    Trish it is a bit the same as when I get heartburn but just seems a weird spot to get it. I hasn't happened again though.
