Headache - stabbimg backpain - mouth gum pain

Hi I am a  50 years old woman, I experience stabbing  back  pain between my shoulders blades , and numbness in my mouth gum sometimes the gum gets swollen, as well as severe headache. These come all at once  and remain for 1 day only and then they go away without taking any medication. I experience this entire thing only two or three times in a year . However i would like yo know the cause of it. No caugh, no difficulty in breathing , no chest pain , no symptom of heart attack , nothing except the three symptoms i've mentioned.

Is there any pattern to them? Does it happen only during a certain season? After eating at a certain restaurant?

I'd wonder if it's an allergy to something you're eating or being exposed to. The next time it happens, write down everything you've done, all the places you went, and everything you've eaten and drank for the past 24-48 hours. Headaches, mouth numbness is a symptom of an allergy, and swollen gums can be, too, especially food allergies.

I'd worry about a cardiac arrhythmia with the pain between your shoulder blades, but you have no other symptoms - no shortness of breath, no chest pain, etc. Do you ever get dizzy? You should get this checked, though, to make sure you don't have one. That's really important.

I hope someone else comes along to chime in on other possibilities, too., and I hope you feel better!
