It could be anything really, so try not to panic. If she's been doing anything strenuous in the last few days it could be a pulled muscle, so relaxation and massage with a few painkillers should help.
Does she smoke? It could be due to that so laying off the smokes for a day or two won't do any harm, or changing to a new brand with less tar in it would do her the world of good.
Does she have these pains often? Has she been on any medication recently for another problem that could be causing this? It could be a side-effect so check the instructions on the packet and call her doctor.
If the chest pains get any worse, she suffers to take a breath or her lips turn blue, then i'd give her two aspirin with water, not paracetamol or anything of that ASPIRIN!! and call 999 (991) for an ambulance as she could be having a heart attack. The aspirin will thin her blood making it easier for it to go around her body which will delay a full blown heart attack, but only temporarily.
It could also be a stroke -
F- Face, has her face slipped to one side?
A - Can she lift her arms above her head or does she have pains in her arms (particularly the left one)
S - Can she speak clearly, or does she slur and miss-pronounce things?
T - Time to call an ambulance.
But like i said at the beginning it could be something as trivial as a pulled muscle.
I'd run her a bath, get her some water and a few painkillers and see how it goes. If the pain continues but does not worsen, get her an appointment at the doctors to get it checked out. If the pain worsens and she gasps for breath or has any of the symptoms of a stroke, get an ambulance.
Hope she's okay
