Suggest Treatment For Sharp Pain In Chest

I was laying on the couch and I shift to the right then my chest started hurting on my left side. It felt like a sharp pain and it only happened when I moved or breathed in deeply. I got up and drank water and it went away. At first I though oh my gosh I m having a heart attack but I m 13 and that seemed unrealistic, is it just dehydration or is there something else!

It may be a muscular pain/pleuritic pain...any way u take NSAIDs for pain relief.
And do a Chest x-ray...it will exclude any relevant pathology..
