I've been experiencing a dull ache in my chest for a few hours, and it's making me a bit breathless. My father had heart issues, so I'm naturally worried. When is it appropriate to go to the ER for chest pain?

Dekho beta, chest pain is not something to take lightly, especially as you get older. If it feels like a heavy weight, or if it spreads to your arm, jaw, or back, please don't wait. Even if it turns out to be gas, it's better to be safe and get it checked quickly.
We learn in yoga to be aware of our body. If the chest pain is sudden, crushing, or accompanied by shortness of breath, sweating, or dizziness, then it is a clear sign to go to the emergency room immediately. Don't try any remedies, just go to the hospital.
Please, don't make my mistake. I had some discomfort and thought it was just acidity. Ended up in the ER a day later with something much more serious. If your chest pain is intense, new, or feels different than usual, especially if you have shortness of breath or feel faint, go to the ER without delay. It could save your life.
As someone with high BP, I'm very careful about chest pain. If it feels like pressure, tightness, or a squeezing sensation, especially if you also feel dizzy, sweaty, or nauseous, go to the ER. Always better to get an ECG done quickly. Regular checkups and managing lifestyle are key too.

For chest pain, you really shouldn't take chances. My doctor always says if it's sharp, sudden, or comes with breathlessness, go straight to a good hospital ER. They'll do the necessary tests and rule out anything serious. Don't self-diagnose.
