Question 1

i keep getting sharp pains in my chest. they go away quick. sometimes happens for ten fifteen minutes. should i get checked out for this?

Accepted Answer

Uhhhh - YES: Come on, now - you know the answer here. Of course, you should be evaluated to rule out cardiac disease. Once that's clear, you can focus on the less lethal causes, such as reflux or gallbladder disease. Call your doctor in the morning. Good luck.

Question 2

sometimes when i go to sneeze i get a really sharp pain in the side of my head. i also keep getting sharp pains on top of head and around face?

Accepted Answer

Head pains: These sharp, shooting head pains are most likely emanating from the superficial nerves and muscles of the scalp and not from brain structures. Since you're not experiencing frequent headaches or other neurologic symptoms, I would not regard your symptoms as worrisome. However if you have continuing concerns, consult your physician.

Question 3

i keep getting sharp stabbing pains in my lungs and sternum. i only get it a couple of times a day but, is this something i should be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

Chest  and sternal: pains might indicate heart problems. Please see a physician who would do an exam  and  recommend basic tests such as an EKG, Chest xray  and blood work.
Diagnosis first. Treatment second. Once you have that information,please  do a video-consult at Healthtap .
 Get well.

Question 4

i have had a uti for about 2 years now witch has caused me to get ecoli also anemia i keep getting sharp pain in my stomach i  have pain in right arm?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: UTIs in most women are uncomplicated, itself alone should not cause anemia. But the use of antibiotics &amp; some drugs + poor overall health or insidious GI bleeding may induce anemia. The pain in right arm and stomach indicates some irritation to regional nerve endings such as those disorders in regional joints, muscles, or nerves. So, seek pro-evaluation and counseling for detail timely.

Question 5

i keep getting sharp stabbing pain in the heels of my feet and in my calf muscle only on my right leg with a little swelling. what could be causing it? and what can i do to get it to stop?

Accepted Answer

Leg swelling &amp; pain: Leg swelling and pain  concerning for a blood clot in the calf. This is more common during and soon after pregnancy.  I see you had a tubal ligation, recently?

Please do not wait to get seen.
