Highly unlikely to: be cardiac. Sharp pains are usually musculoskeletal. Cardiac pain is usually dull aching or pressure like a toothache. Counseling should help you. Consider getting some.

Check uo: Hard to say. A good medical check up to discuss with your primary care doctor would likely be a good option and potentially be very reassuring.
