Chest Pain. Chest Xray, IBS, Spirometry Done All Are Normal. Family History Of Hypertension. Any Advice?

I have been feeling a mild dull achey pain next to my belly button on the left side, when i look it seems like it's swollen but looks as if the swelling is moving (a bit like when you're pregnant and you see the baby's foot move across your belly) and then goes flat again well i applied light pressure to the spot to see if i could feel anything out of place and as soon as i did this i had a sharp pain in the right side of my chest Just wondered if you know what this might be?
I had a chest x ray 3 months ago and it came back normal.
I do have IBS.
I have suspected asthma (and i say suspected because the asthma nurse said my peak flow readings were suggestive of asthma but when she did a spirometry she said she couldn't make sense of things because my lung age was 25 and i'm 19, and she said the results she was looking at she should be expecting that she was talking to a middle aged person).
I'm a smoker (trying to quit but failing).
Have family history of Hypertension.
I'm a female.
