HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
An asthma attack would cause pain in the chest but would not cause pain in other areas, another cause would need to be found.
Wegeners can sometimes be associated with joint aches and pain so this may be a cause but you may need to be assessed to determine the cause.
Neuralgia (nerve related pain) can sometimes cause a sharp sudden pain.
Neuralgia can be due to: (1) vitamin b12 or folate deficiency
(2)diabetes
(3)liver or kidney disease
(4)infection
(5)side effect of medication
(6)trauma
(7)exposure to toxins
Examination and blood tests can determine the cause
I hope this helps
