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?

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.
