What Causes Sharp Pain In The Chest?

Hi - I ve been experiencing sudden sharp pain in the middle of my chest. It s very quick and I don t seem to have any other issues after it s over. It s only happened three times. I just figured I pulled a muscle exercising. In the past few days I ve been feeling pain in my upper right back when I take a deep breath. It s mild but got me thinking that maybe I should check it out.
