Sharp pains: Shooting,sharp and fleeting pains in the chest are often due to pinched intercostal nerve or muscle and are usually precipitated by motion like a deep breath,cough,twisting,etc. The pinched nerve or muscle usually resolves on its own. If symptoms persist have a physician examine your chest and breast and advise you,however.
