What Causes Sudden Sharp Pain In Body?

My husband just out of the blue has sharp pains that seem to be from his back around to the front on his left side. He says the pains move in the front area of his body. This has been going on since yesterday afternoon. Just came on all of sudden. Had been fine all day up till that point. Any ideas?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi.

If the pain goes to the front left side of his chest then getting an EKG will be mandatory. Once a cardiac cause has been ruled out we can suspect causes like gastritis, peptic ulcers, etc. Please take him to a doctor immediately.

Best wishes.
