I'm 20 years old and have been having random sessions of sharp chest pain, mostly during inhalation. what could be the the possible cause?

See the doctor: In a young person, cardiac disease is uncommon, but it can happen and pain with inspriation can be a sign of lung disease, pleursey or a fractured rib. I would see my physician as soon as possible.

It could be: There are several causes for chest pain. Only when you go to your doctor and get checked you will know the answer.
