a sharp pain that occurs amongst adolescents, under/behind the left ribcage. This sharp pain will come and go, and it is NOT life threatening, it usually goes away in adulthood. when this pain occurs lots of people take a quick and big breathe in, until they feel a pop in the spot and it goes awhile for a few moments. Dont worry you are not having a heart attack!

Doctor: Absolutely nothing, what you have is precordial catch syndrome, you arent having a heart attack. you'll just have to wait till you become an adult, it'll go away! left ribcage pain
