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.
