Brief Answer:
Better to rule out cardiac complication.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on HealthcareMagic.

I can understand your concern.

Cortisol injection can cause allergic reactions.
But her chest symptoms, Heaviness in chest, rapid heart rate, chest pain etc should be evaluated for heart diseases.

So I'd suggest getting done ECG, 2D echo and stress test.
If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases.

You can give her montelukast (anti allergic).
Dose of montelukast is 10 mg once daily at night. Give her for 10 days and see for improvement.

Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.
Wishing good health to your mother.
Thanks.
