Thoracic outlet syndrome is not so common and the presentation is a different one.
Rule out commoner pathologies like carpal tunnel syndrome etc.

It's happening due to the muscle tightness around your right side of the neck and shoulder. This is due to your working habits involving the right dominant hand. If using a laptop, mobile, domestic activities, playing cards, holding things etc. The tight muscles press upon the nerve roots. Work in an ergonomic atmosphere and do the relevant exercises.
