I have occasional(every few days) stab like pain in the chest, it is happening for almost 2 years now. i'm not sure if it is something serious or not.

Probably ok: There are many different causes for chest pain. Some are serious, like heart attack, aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism... Some are not so serious, such as heart burn, chest congestion, anxiety attack. The likelihood of some at your age having heart attack is relatively low. Without an exam and some test, we can't rule out serious problems. Best to go see your doctor if you are worried.
