A member asked:

How to stop a sharp stabbing pain in my left lung?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See physician: Sharp, stabbing chest pain is usually a simple problem like spasm in the intercostal muscles but in order to be sure you should be evaluated by a good physician. After taking a history and examining you they might order some imaging studies to make sure there is nothing more serious going on.
