Hi welcome to the health care magic
She has been started chest pain after started exercise and running...
Do seems mostly musculoskeletal pain here
But still her Auscultation and physical examination along with EKG needs to be done as primary work up to rule out cardiac cause
If EKG normal than for muscular pain ibuprofen drug given and rest done
Warm compress beneficial
Advise her to do mild to moderate exercise according to age capabilities
Take care
Consult physician for examination
