Rib cage: A common cause of this type of positional,fleeting and often sharp pain is a pinched intercostal nerve or muscle that runs between two ribs. This is more of a nuisance rather than anything serious. See your physician if you have further concerns or persistent symptoms,however.

I recently got up from laying in bed, and my heart started rapidly beating. Very fast, and felt it in my neck and stomach. It felt like the pulse was going to jump out of my neck. Then subsided after a minute. This is the second time this has occured?
