What is this?

At random times I feel a stabbing pain in my left side chest, it is like a burst of pain for seconds, it goes away for a few seconds then comes back and repeats for a minute or two. When it first started it was just painful, but recently it started leaving pain in my chest for a few minutes that hurt when I moved or breathed deeply, now today it happened but it was just my chest pain that hurt when I move or breathe deeply.

This is chest wall pain. It is located in your rib cage. The point source is either rib muscle or rib tendon or tendon sheath or inner rib cage pleural membrane. Reason may be either strain or sprain or inflammation. Fracture not likely.
