Back Pain

What is causing the upper back and left chest pain I have been having?

I am only 14 years old, but recently I have been having shooting and throbbing pain in my upper back, in my chest, and on the upper left part of my body. I know that it isn't a heart attack or anything like that but I need some reassurance, and whether I should see a doctor immediately. no I haven't been doing anything really out of the usual as far as exercise goes. Also it just happens at different times of the day. It seems as though it comes and goes on its own

1. Yes, definitely see a doctor immediately because even if the pain isn't serious, you'd feel a LOT better knowing what it was related to.
2. Have you been doing strenuous exercising or work that could have caused the pain .Does it come at certain times of day or activity ? I think if its been going on for awhile you should get some advice from a doctor to ease your mind.
