What Causes Sharp Stitch Sensations Around The Chest And Stomach?
I have been having sharp stitch sensations that move around my chest and stomach but sometimes I get a shooting pain straight through my stomach that really hurts. I have also had a dull ache in my left chest near to my heart that doesn't effect my performance but I know it's there . Any ideas?

Hello,
It depends upon your age and general health. If you are young and healthy then it is probably just a stitch. Make sure you drink plenty of water, take a multivitamin daily and do stretching before and after exercise. If you are older and have any risk of heart, lung or stomach disease then you should see a doctor for an exam and testing
