Hi Weatherbug,
Here's a post I think may help you:
Sharp Chest Pain: What it Means and When You Should See a Doctor
All the best,

You need to make an appt. to see a cardiologist. It could be mitral valve prolapse or it could be anxiety. Just to name a couple. Be safe and see a doctor sweetie.
Hey im only 21 and i used to get chest pains all the time. What happened was i cut out the carbs(pasta, bread, etc.) and ive tried to get most of my carbs from fruits and vegtables. I still eat meat and animal protein but whenever i eat a hamburger or hotdog i remove the buns this has helped me alot as its only been a few days since the diet change and i haven't had any chest pains. I am going to look into this further since i want to make sure that the diet im on is safe. but i think it is the refined sugars the carbs and the vegtable oils that are hurting your heart
