Q: Sharp Pain In the Heart Area.

I am a 16 years old female.

From time to time, I get a sharp paint in the heart area, for about 5 to 10 minutes (sometimes shorter/longer). I have never made anything of it, althought it happened more than once, (it started about 2 years ago).
I was wondering if it was related to my heart, or what...

(family heart problems : my uncle died of a heart attack, my sister had to be opererated when she was about 6 months because she had a bad heart)
