I get a sharp pain in my chest that feels like my heart skips a beat and then shocks itself back into motion. it used to be once/month now once/day.

Too young for heart: Disease! extra beats(ectopics) are commonly caused by excess of coffee, tea, coca cola and mixed with smoke(at times).Many times the cause is not clear. If such precautions(moderation) do not help you should see your internist who can check you with an ekg and may then refer you to a cardiologist to have a holter monitor to determine the extent of the problem and some medication, if needed.
