Pain in chest and upper ribs

Question

Asked for Female, 32 Years

My wife is experiencing pain in chest, left arm shoulder and covering upper rib case from back to front since last 3 days. I took advice from Dr. on this platform and he mentioned that thisncan be cervical pain and prescribed few pain killer and other medicine. However, the pain is bit reduced in front but the same is still in hand, shoulder and neck. I read the symptoms of heart attack which can relate to given issues. Is that alarming or just a cervical pain? Please suggest.
