Weight loss: If you're losing weight despite eating well, disorders like overactive thyroid or diabetes come to mind. Sharp chest pains and shortness of breath without cough could be pleurisy, early pneumonia, emboli to the lung, or percarditis. Your symptoms warrant a thorough history and complete physical examination by a physician. Appropriate tests and xray will be ordered in order to make a diagnosis
