Thanks for your question.
Heart pain and arrhythmia may have multiple causes like myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, heart blocks, hyperthyroidism. First of all battery of investigations TSH, blood glucose levels, ecg should be taken followed by an ECHO at cardiologist centers.
Depending upon ECG and echo results treatment should be started by cardiologist.
If all organic disorders are ruled out then your grandmother symptoms might be due to anxiety which can be treated with anxiolytics.
Feel free to contact if you have any more concerns.
Kindly let me know if you have anymore concerns.
