heya, i have had the same thing too. i get it quite infrequently and was similarly unsure as to why it occurs. :S guess we're both in the dark here! maybe it's just a muscle spasm or trapped nerve? i have no clue.....
Your intestines come up under your ribs so it could very well be gas.
My brother thought he was having a heart attack as he had stabbing pains in his chest and since we are a very heart attack prone family he went to the emergency room, it was intestinal gas.
If it doesn't subside in short time, I am sorry to say it but, you should see a doctor.
I'm no doctor, but I am an ICU RN--- I have also had this happen & I'm sure a lot of others have also..... I believe since it happens on the left & right- lasts for a minute or so, feels like a sharp stabbing pain (almost like a muscle spasm), happens infrequently, isn't affected by taking a deep breath (gas pain is usually) that it is probably a nerve saying "hi, I'm here just to annoy you". I don't think it's serious, the same thing happens to my arms & legs (therefore, definitely not gas), but if it really bothers you- please see a doctor...... The reason I bring up my profession is because I have had over 10 yrs. experience with critically ill patients with, amongst other things, cardiac & respiratory problems where I have had to deal with many types of chest pains/discomfort. Good luck....
thanks alot all.. if it gets worse.. i shall go see a doctor... but i honestly didnt think it was serious either... i just thought id get some input just incase:)
I get that when I've injured a muscle on that side of my body. It'll be like that muscle is stabbing my breasts in revenge for what I've put it through.
I get little pains in my breast too. It's kinda like a pinching feeling & it's pretty much just the left one. I brought it up to my gyno & he said that it's more than likely related to caffine intake. He said for me to try to notice when it happens. I took note & it does happen more when I have had coffee or tea or anything with caffiene. All I have to do to get it to stop is lower my caffine intake. Hope this helps!
