Pleurisy as a Cause for Stabbing Chest Pain: Pleurisy is also another cause which can lead to stabbing chest pain. In pleurisy, there is swelling in the lining (pleura) surrounding the chest. Viral infections are the cause in most cases for this condition and with treatment this pain can be alleviated.
Costochondritis causes chest pain, felt at the front of the chest. The pain is typically sharp and stabbing and is worse with movement, exertion and deep breathing. Pressure over the affected area also causes sharp pain. The pain is usually confined to a small area but it can spread (radiate) to a wider area.
