I have a sharp pain under my left breast. i have no other symptoms except that sharp pain. ive had it for two days now. what could it be?

If you can: reproduce the pain by pushing on the area it is most likely costochondritis which is inflammation of the rib and cartilage junction near the sternum. It can be treated with anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen.
