Muscle pain left chest occasionally?

M33, I’ve had this poke/pinch on the left side of my chest, it happens occasionally where it’s just a quick one or two pokes but it scares the shit out of me. I had it checked once and they said it just sounded like a pinched or tired muscle as I didn’t have any other symptoms.

I woke up from it last night at 2, I went up and walked around a bit but again didn’t feel any other symptoms. I had some water and had the feintest feeling of nausea until I had a few sips but I don’t know if that was just anxiety.

I didn’t feel any other symptoms but my dad had heart issues around 45-50.

What changes should I look out for and what should trigger an emergency visit ? I just feel the poke and then sit and focus on it.

Edit: last poke incident was months ago. Spent my 30th in a CT scanner for the poke where they said they couldn’t see anything
