Respected Sir/Mam
If the doctor has examined your mother after the first episode of chest pain ? If she has been evaluated and found to have no serious issue then you may continue to take it as per his/ her prescription. But in case she has not been examined by your doctor after the occurrence of chest pain, then she should be examined at the earliest. As occasionally, this drug may have such side effects which trigger an anginal pain. There may be other reasons also but serious reason should be ruled out on priority.
Sincerely

Hi,
welcome to HCM,
Its better to evaluate the cause of chest pain by taking EKG in emergency room . Once we rule there are no changes in EKG, you can relax.
So consult ER as soon as possible .
