hello,welcome to healthcaremagic

possible causes are-
1. GERD
2. muscle spasm
3. heart attack(v. less chances)

get following investigations done-
1. barium swallow
2. ECG
3. chest x ray.

pelase visit a nearby hospital for further evaluation in detail.

for now give her a muscle relaxant like flexon mr and pain killer like diclofenac along with antacids.

hope this helps.
