What Causes Sharp Pain Under Rib Cage?

Once every few days i get this extreme sharp pain under my rib cage over the bottom my left lung. Im a 15 year old guy and I'm not sure what it is. When the pain starts to come on i cant breath deeply or it feels like my chest will explode and i have to take short quick breaths. It usually lasts about 1-2 minutes....does anyone know what this is?
