See your doctor : A sharp pains in your chest is not normal. Best to call your doctor immediately, and let her/him know how frequently your chest pain is happening, and whether you need to go to the er or not. With left-sided chest pain, it is important to rule out any heart issues, versus heartburn or gas. This is best done by physical exam.
