Sharp Pain Under Breast, Occuring Every Other Minute. What Could This Be?

Hello, when I went to bed I got a short sharp pain in my left side under my breast , as though it was in my heart . It feels like a painful heart beat. I woke up at 4am and i have been getting one about every minute which only lasts for 1 second, however it woke me up and i cannot go back to sleep. I have had some boiled water and paracetamol . I went for a meal last night and had 2 diet cokes.
