Probably trapped wind. It will pass, but takes a few minutes. To prevent it, don't eat lying down!

Listen up, chest pains must NEVER EVER be ignored. It is probably just acid reflux (heartburn) caused by eating in a stupid position, but you must investigate the causes of these pains now. Call NHS direct, and they will proabaly send you to A+E just to be safe.
Pain in the chest is taken very seriously by doctors for a good reason. Off you go.

I could be serious, so I would (obviously) keep an eye on it. But most likely, she had gas. It can be very painful. Have her lay down on stomach. Give her some tums or other gas medicine. See if it gets better, if it doesn't, I would ask someone else (parents? can't tell if your still kids or not) or go to the doctor.

Phone and gain medical advice immediately. May just be over indulgence causing indigestion but better to be safe than sorry!

I'd call NHS direct on 08454647 and ask them, just to check it isn't anything serious.
It is likely to just be stitch, so don't worry.
