WorkForAKnifeThrower: Very common. Brief stabs like that.They are not from the heart. Usually from the stomach or esophagus; minor swift cramps or something like that.Do you get yours on an empty stomach?That's a clue.So is under stress or certain times of the day.If it's "every now and then,"don't worry. If it's 'every then and now, and now again and again, then get it checked out. Think about your diet and lifestyle.
