Those rare random short sharp pains in the chest area that most people get occasionally, is most likely the muscles between the ribs that get cramps/spasms. Sitting at the computer all day or holding your phone for hours definitely doesn’t help. Regular stretching and exercise probably helps to reduce them.

Disclaimer: Obviously you should go see a doctor to get checked out if you get regular chest pains and discomfort.
