“Why do I have sharp abdominal pain when I run?”
I get a sharp pain in my abdomen whenever I run, and it causes me to stop running completely. Why am I getting these sharp pains? What can I do for them?

You need to see your doctor.
Please consult your medical doctor to rule out symptoms of appendicitis and other internal organ conditions. Also if all the above is ruled out then a PT can help you relieve musculo skeletal pain.
I have seen this a lot and here is what I believe to be the cause in simplistic form. Breathing too shallow. If you have too much fluid in your stomach you can’t take large breaths.
It can be associated with something you ate or drank before workout. Breathing too shallow.
So if you get a pain in running slow down and walk put your hand on your belly and breathe deeply. If you are breathing from your lower lungs your tummy should rise and fall I have never seen anything sinister ,but if it continues then get checked out by a physciatrist or sports medicine dr. Check to see what you are eating it can be a digestive issue. I had a patient who ate bananas and got abdominal pain. But eating apples he was fine. Listen to your body. How are your bowels ? Let me know if I can help you further
