Chest Pain, near Synapse

I am seeking a name for a condition that I seem to be suffering from. I have sharp stabbing pain in my chest. Especially when I lie on my left side. Sometimes the pain is stronger or more intense than others and I feel as if I am going to faint. I am only 32 years old, with no prior heart problems. I just finished a 6 day dosage of steroids, that my doctor thought would help the muscle around my heart, but the pain and weakness are still very apparent. I have had an Echocardiogram but it proved nothing more than my valves operated properly. I hope you can help me, the pain is so strong at times, it takes my breath and is hard to deep breathe without pain afterward. The attacks come on without any warning, exercise or stressfull situation. ThanK You for your time.
