Hi,
Stabbing in the heart can be related to palpitations. Palpitation is a sensation that the heart is racing or pounding. Its causes include stress as well. To relieve palpitations, it helps to avoid caffeine, nicotine, cold medicines that contain pseudo-ephedrine, energy drinks and stimulants such as cocaine or amphetamine. Reducing stress and getting regular sleep and exercise may also help.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
