Hello welcome to HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Stabbing pain or shooting pain in Upper stomach usually indicate acidity problem. It will usually subsided by itself.
My advice to you -

1.Do not eat hot and spicy food for few days. Drink cold milk mixed with water as a home remedy.

2 . There are powerful and effective drugs available for acidity but for that you need a prescription from a doctor. So, if your symptoms are not subsiding meet your doctor once.

Don't worry it's not heart related pain. But still if you want to confirm tell your doctor to do an ECG.
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
