Im mid twenties, and ocassionally have pains in my chest expecially when i take a deep breath. If I bend to my left I can feel a popping in my chest and i would have to straighten myself and then it goes away. When i lay in bed at night, and lay on my left side, a sharp pain goes through my chest. What could be wrong with me. (link)
Well, I just got home from the ER for similiar symptoms. I am 42 and I smoke so we may differ.
Do you notice any swelling in your hands or feet before or after the pain in your chest? If yes I have learned that it may well be related to Heart Disease.

The popping noise may indicate that you have a condition known as a "Hiatal Hernia" which is a condition I had when I was 20. Same problem, chest pain and thaught I was having a heart attack. I would look into both of these issues.

Chest pain is not to be taken lightly. You can go to WebMD online and they have a section for diagnosing your symptoms. It will help you.

Good Luck
