Question 1

I get that sting feeling in my chest it lasts for a couple of seconds, its sometimes sharp and the pain is usually not in the same place in my chest?

Accepted Answer

but this can't be diagnosed with the available information.

Question 2

What causes that stinging feeling in your chest ("heart") that is felt during great sadness?

Accepted Answer

I don't think anyone can tell you exactly why some people feel it in that location but maybe that's where the saying comes from of a "broken heart". Sadness can be felt in many areas and i think that's an area we hold to be close to our soul. I hope to get over your sadness. Best wishes.

Question 3

Is it because my turbinates in my nose swollen causing me to wheeze and a stinging like feeling in my chest.

Accepted Answer

The turbinates are not likely causing the wheezing in the chest or the stinging pain in the chest.  Did you have a recent viral infection ?  It can be costochondritis.  This is pain with breathing deeply and can be relieved with 600 mg of Motrin over the counter three times a day.  If the pain in more in the back, get the urine checked by your doctor.  Good luck and feel better!

Question 4

Lying dwn & felt a cool feeling go across the right side of my chest. almost felt like fluid passing thru beneath ribs, mild stinging pain persists?

Accepted Answer

Doesn't sound too concerning.  Sounds more like nerve type pain?  Hard to say from the description.  Seems like you have already seen a physician for this?  Would recommend establishing care with a primary care physician and having them work it up further.
