Hi,
The sharp pain you are feeling on the center upper left back might be related to:
- esophagus/gastric problems
- lung problems
- pancreas
- heart and pericardium
I suggest to run further tests to determine the right diagnosis including
- EKG
- Cardiac echo
- Chest X-ray
- abdominal ultrasound
Hope it helped!
