Thank you very much for contacting healthcare magic.
You have problem of sharp chest pain that may be because of heart problem. Heard attacks cause pain at left shoulder and chest area.
Lung infection may cause chest pain.Pneumonia or lung abcess may ruled out.
Some gastric problem like gastroesophageal reflux disease may cause chest pain also.
Proper physical examination and history give exact idea.
Consent a physician for further diagnosis.
I hope my guidance is helpful to you.
Take care.
Thank you very much.
