I've been having this sudden sharp chest pain that comes and goes in about 3 minutes. It gets worse when I breathe deeply or move around. Sometimes it just goes away on its own, but other times drinking water or taking Omeprazole 20mg seems to help. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I'm really worried about a 20mm ASD hole in the heart and I'm wondering if there's any way to treat it without surgery. Are there other options or treatments available to help with this condition?
