Suggest Treatment For Sharp Chest Pain

I'm a 24 year old female and yesterday I felt this sudden sharp aching feeling on the left side of my chest and it's lasted all day today. It even hurts when I breath, I do not smoke or drink so there seems know reason to why I have this, I've read various things online that points to heart problems but surely that can't be it.... While exercising today the pain seemed to go away for a while, can you be tell me what this pain may be. Thank you, my apologies if this whole paragraph doesn't make sense.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Sudden onset left sided chest pain in young patient is mostly due to pulled muscle.
Your chest pain was relieved by exercise.
So possibility of muscular pain is more likely.
No need to worry for cardiac chest pain as it won't go away with exercise.
So apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
Avoid movements causing pain.
You can take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen if pain is worrisome.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
