What Causes Bloating And Pain Under Breast Bone?

Hi my mom has had some issued tonight. we think it may be indigestion, but her symptoms include bloating/pressure and pain underneat the breast bone. She took a hot shower and that helped her some, and then she took her prescribed bp meds, but threw them up later. About an hour and a half ago, she took some alka seltzer and peto bismol and has been asleep since. do you have any ideas of what it could be?

Hi. In women, the symptoms of angina or heart attack can be subtle and any pain like that under the sternum has to be considered cardiac until proved otherwise so she needs to see a doctor about this right away
