Hi, have been getting sharpe pains near my heart they come and go but it hurts when i breath. could it be a heart attack ???

Unlikely: Your pain is nonspecific and seems like pleuritic in nature. Being twenty years old is unlikely having heart attack unless you have other serious comorbidities. You should go to the ER at least to have basic work up done
