Call 911: Left sided chest pain and "not feeling well" could be signs of a heart attack. Call 911 for help.

See a doctor: If you are young and have no medical problems and the pains only last a few seconds they probably are not dangerous. If you start to have shortness of breath, get drenched in sweat, have nausea or vomiting, get dizzy, or the pain remains constant for more than 20min you should probably see a doctor.
