Severe chest pain that starts in the evening after a little bit of food

My mother who currently resides in Russia has recently been experiencing extremely severe chest pain in the evenings after food. I am posting on this forum because the pain has been so severe my brother (also in Russia) has called the emergency services 3 times on separate occasions and her symptoms remain undiagnosed. Each time the ambulance came, doctors merely gave her pain killers and she would fall asleep. They preformed an EKG as well but it was normal. The pain began after a short walk, when she noticed the pain in her stomach, which eventually spread all the way to her neck. Extreme pulling pain. After that, it has resurfaced for the past 3 nights after just some food. To give a little summary, the pain only occurs in the night after ingesting food, any food consumed during the day is fine, and the pulling pain starts in the stomach and spreads all the way to the neck.
Any answers would be very helpful, and I am welcome to answer questions.
Thank you

This sounds like classic angina to me. Have her see a cardiologist. This wouldnt show up on a resting EKG she would need to be given an exercise stress test whilst hooked up to the heart monitor. I Hope she gets answers and treatment soon. Angina is totally treatable, I have a relative that has angina and has had for 30 years!

That sounds a little bit like a condition that a friend of mine has called SMA (Superior Mesenteric Artery) Syndrome. It usually causes upper abdominal pain after food consumption. Not sure if it fits exactly, but you can do some research into it.
