Sharp stabbing pain under left side breast?

I'm 21 years old. Earlier this morning I was coughing very hard & sneezing violently. It's been about 10 hours now, & I was resting on the couch while my fiancé did homework. I suddenly had a horrible sharp pain under my left side breast that made me freeze. Breathing hurt, moving hurt, I just sat there until the pain dulled. When I reached over to grab something a few minutes later, the sharp stabbing pain came back. Right now its kind of dulled but I can feel my heart beat (I'm not scared). I've been having anxiety problems lately, with sudden rapid heartbeat for no reason & I'm not sure if these are related.
My fiance is worrying though because the pain was bad enough for me to yell out & hold my breath for a little bit. Should I be worried? Should I go to the doctor? Or is it more than likely just an odd pain?

Thanks for any advice.
