Chest pains: Sharp,shooting pains in those regions are often due to pinching of intercostal nerves or muscles which run between two ribs. Such fleeting pains are exacerbated by motions like deep breathing or coughing. Avoid exercise or activities that strain your rib cage to see whether these pains resolve. See your physician as needed.
