Unlikely the heart: Temporary pain like this can be muscle, a chest source or abdomenal source like gas. What will clarify this is what makes it occur and what makes it resolve, are you able to identify any physicial findings at the tiime of the pain - like tenderness on palpation, increase or decrease of the pain with any maneuvers, etc. Discuss some of these aspects with your physician.

Chest pain: Sharp intermittent chest pain with all normal testing at this age is usually costochondritis or chest wall inflammation. Especially if it worsens with movement and deep breathing. You may try to take an anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen and see if this helps. There is also a condition call pericarditis - inflammation around the sac of the heart but this should have be found by your doctor.
