Time to see a doctor: Chest pressure, chest pain, or trouble breathing in an older adult are signs to go to the ER. Chest pain can be a heart attack. One should not drive herself (it's safer to go by ambulance). If she turns out not to have heart attack symptoms, the ER will also have evaluated for problems such as reflux, esophageal spasm, myocarditis, pneumonia, etc... X-rays, EKG, and labs can be done at the ER.
