If you’re having chest pain that’s severe enough to wake you up at night, I would talk to a doctor. It doesn’t have to have anything to do with the vaccine.
I would also not dismiss the nagging feeling in the back of your head that something doesn’t feel right. You know your body more than anyone.

Not to scare you, but I advise following up with a doctor as soon as possible. My 21 year old brother who was otherwise completely healthy suffered a similar short pattern of pain due to blood clots (not related to vaccine) but with severe neck pain for a short time one night.
It went away after that night, he was fine for 3 weeks with no pain or issues, was working out fine, etc. and thought nothing of it.
Suddenly one night went from perfectly fine sleeping to suffering a major stroke due to a blood clot in his brain within a 10 minute period, unable to do anything himself to get help as he lost all motor skills.
He said in retrospect he wishes he had followed up with a doctor on the thing he thought was no longer an issue 3 weeks before.
There are genetic tests they can run, as well, such as to see if you might have factor V Leiden.
But last week (would have been 3 weeks after shot) I awoke in the middle of the night with pretty a bad chest pain like you describe. Felt like it was in middle of my chest and was quite painful. I had to physically sit up in my bed for about 5 minutes hoping it would subside. I got up and got some water and hoped it didn't get worse as I started contemplating what I should do if it does.
I was so tired though I just propped myself up with pillows and slept sitting up against the headboard because laying down seemed to make it come back worse. I eventually fell asleep and when I woke for the day I still felt a small amount of pain still. Went about my day normally and it seemed to go away later in the day.
I would think I am out of the window by now after 4 weeks to which I am in any danger from what I'm reading on news sites? I've been the gym since that episode and have done cardio fine. My wife suggests I take some low-dose aspirin for next few days.
