Answers:

You didn't state you age.......that would have helped. Usually sharp pains do not indicate coronary problems; furthermore, coronary problems such as heart attack do not start and stop. They are most often constant, dull, crushing pain.
If this is occuring in the morning when you first get up, it could be acid reflux or muscle pain or plurisy.
I don't think it's heart failure, and I doubt that it is coronary related at all, although I don't know your complete history. I would however, advise you to make an appointment with your doctor for a complete exam and an EKG to ease your anxiety, and to also make sure that your BP is still under control.
Heart problems can occur at most any age; younger being congenital, something that you are born with, but you said you have hypertension, so I am guessing that you are older. See a doctor; that would solve everything and ease your mind. Keep eating the oatmeal....it's good for you. GOOD LUCK!
HOW OLD ARE YOU????????? OK you are 17....if you feel that you should see a doctor then GO! Get a friend to tke you.
I don't think your "heart" is hurting. I think you have other problems that need to be addressed.
