Dr. or ER can check: Strange left side pains, pain under the front ribs, and odd pains in the throat in a person in her 60's means a trip to the doctor. Sometimes it is an infection that is showing up in an unusual manner. But, having six decades behind her, other things can be happening. The doctor can check the heart, lungs, tummy, etc... to make sure it is not something serious, like a heart problem.
