Her symptoms sound very suspicious for pericarditis, especially since the pain changes with position. She can take anti-inflammatory drugs such aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen to relieve her symptoms because the pain is caused by inflammation. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) would not be as effective in this situation.
