Brief Answer:
This can be heart pain

Detailed Answer:
Hello madam,
I want to warn you to not to take this pain lightly as this can be heart related pain. My advice to you is to go to ER and get your ECG as quickly as possible. Also if possible get your ECHO.
Most common reason of this pain in your age is cardiac stress and so any pain in left side near rib should be taken seriously.
Thanks.
