How long has this been going on?
Is it aggravated with physical excursion? (possible cardiac or respiratory)
Does it hurt when you take deep breaths?( possible respiratory)
Does the pain go anywhere (IE to back, neck, jaw, shoulders, either or both arms? (possible cardiac)
Do you get dizzy, sort of breath, have ringing in your ears, or have blurry vision?(possible cardiac)
Are you taking any mediation? if so for how long?( if new onset possible allergic reaction)
Are you taking any herbal supplements? if so for how long?(same possible allergic reaction)
You could have an underlying congential heart defect that has not been diagnosed. (happens all the time) However, this is only a possibility this is something that you should take up with your PCP and have a COMPLETE physical which includes cardiac work up.
Believe it or not if all else comes out negative it could be something as simple as growing pains I use to get them all the time especially when you go through a really sudden growth spurt. Again I would bring your concerns up to your parents and have them set up and appointment with you PCP.

Are you active in sports? Sounds like either a rib injury, or a digestive problem such as hiatal hernia. You probably should ask your doctor.
