I would consider these episodes acute muscular spasms. They can be triggered by certain movements of the torso. The secondary occurrence of nausea is a nonspecific reaction to pain. If these spasms occur quite often, get checked for deficiency of calcium or magnesium.

The last three days Ive had a tight stomach with nausea and tightness on the left side of my chest. It takes a while to get that one big breath back to feel better. No covid exposure. Even when I breathe into my chest it hurts. BP normal?
