Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of muscular pain is more.
It is better and more beneficial to apply ice packs than hot water to relieve muscular pain.
So, start ice pack application on painful areas.
Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs.
Avoid movements causing pain.
Avoid bad postures in sleep.
Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Don't worry, she will mostly improve with all these in 5-6 days.
If not improving then get done ecg and 2d echo to rule out heart related causes for chest pain.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
