Chest pains: Very fleeting, sharp chest pains, especially if provoked by a deep breath, are usually not caused by heart or lung pathology. A common cause is a pinched intercostal nerve or muscle that runs between 2 ribs. Another possibility is an inflamed costochondral joint at the junction of a rib and the breastbone. There may be associated tenderness. I doubt a serious cause, but get examined by your MD.
