why is it hurting and what could it be? what can stop it?

My name is gloria, I will be turning 17 on the 17th this december. I've been having a sharp pain in what seems ot be either my heart or my lungs from the mid-front of my chest to the back around my left shoulderblade. I need possible reasons as to why i am having this pain and what it could be.

Could be pleursy.  Have you had a cold lately?  Pleursy is very painful.  You will need a prescription from the doctor to get better.  He will most likely do a chest x-ray.  Otherwise, could be muscles.  Have you been doing a different activity lately?
