Pain whilst taking Creatine Monohydrate, please help

As a physician: Creatine is one of the safest supplements when taken correctly (0.06 g/kg of body weight). The only advice I can give you is to consult a physician and perform lab tests such as creatinine, cystatin-C, and microalbuminuria. Although the pain could be psychological, it is possible that you have an underlying heart condition. Therefore, it would be wise to undergo an EKG and lab tests to rule out any problems, as sharp chest pain can have many different causes, including GI reflux (it’s similar, and can be mistaken for chest pain).

I got my creatine from ryse and was thinking about doing another brand before I truly consulted with a doctor.

Definitely see a doctor in case there is some other condition going on. there is no harm in stopping the creatine for a few weeks. You could try taking a lower dose if symptoms go away. Oh and make sure to hydrate appropriately! I really think you should stop the energy drinks though. They have too much caffeine and could be part of the problem.
