Needs evaluation: Lots of options and need full history and exam and perhaps testing. Stomach, gall bladder and other issues can occur even in young people.

Variable issue: This could be as simple as heartburn or a significant gi, chest wall, heart or other issue. If minimal symptoms it can be watched, if interfering with activities i would have her see her pcp during regular office hours.
