Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Chest pain with fainting episodes needs evaluation to rule out cardiac and brain related causes.
So better to consult doctor and get done
1. Ecg and 2d echo to rule out cardiac cause especially valvular heart diseases.
2. MRI brain to rule out central nervous system (CNS) pathology.
If both are normal then she might be having stress, tension and anxiety related symptoms.
But first rule out cardiac and brain related causes.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
