What Causes Chest Pain?

hello, I am a female and off and on I does get chest pain. I use to think that it was because of drinking soda alot, so I stop drinking them. But the pain didn't stop. It's like a squeezing shocking pain, that occurs on either the left side or the right side of my chest. what can that possibly means? :(
