Hi Maria,
Generally sharp pain associated with deep breaths is not associated with a heart attack, but it can be a sign that something else is wrong, like a blood clot or pneumonia, but only your doctor can rule out a heart attack. I suggest you follow up with your physician as soon as possible to determine what is causing the pains.
Best of luck,
