Feeling of tightness in chest

Question

Asked for Female, 30 Years

My mother is having chest discomfort since 2 days. She is having issues in deep breathing. She feels there is some restriction while taking deep breaths. She used to get some relief by yawning but now even yawns are not coming for her. Oxygen levels are normal. Should we get a chest xray or ct scan done?
