I sometimes randomly feel a sharp pain around my heart area, they last around 5 seconds. is this normal ?

Not normal but...: Unlikely to be anything dangerous. Pain of that short duration, coupled with your young age makes the likelihood of anything major or serious very low. It would probably still be a good idea to see your doctor, so they can examine you and get tests if they feel it necessary. Hope this helps!
