Maybe the pleura?: Should get doctor's exam. The pleura is the lining on the inside of the chest and on the outside of lungs. It does have some sensation, so might be the source of the sharp brief stitch-in-the-side feeling that is happening. A primary care doctor can carefully listen to the lungs, and also talk with the patient to see if there are other signs or symptoms of a problem. Sometimes chest x-ray is done.
