I need to know whether these pains are related to exertion. Do you have any hypertension or diabetes? Any other chronic disease? If these pains just come and goes on its own they must probably be due to stress, or musculoskeletal in origin. just visit you general physician for detailed history and examination. i do not think you need to worry at this point of time
