What Causes Pain In Chest And Lungs?
For years now I ve been experiencing sharp stabbing pains on lower and upper part of my lungs. On several occasions the pain was so immense it caused me to cringe and I experimced a light headed sensation that was quite scary. I know lungs don t have pain receptors but I feel it might be something quite serious. Please help

thanks for asking your question
i completely understand your problem
you need to consult a pulmonologist who can request a chest xray and rule out organic disease because this kind of pain can be in variety of disease like pleural effusions, lung mass, sarcoid, and it can be just neurogenic
no need to panic
just get a chest xray done and consult a pulmonologist
for the time being you can take some analgesics
thanks/ regards
