Hello welcome to HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Smoking has really deleterious effects on heart and after an attack of heart attack it's really hazardous to start smoking again.

Usually main classical symptoms of heart attack are -

Uneasiness on chest
Heaviness in chest and not shooting pain,
Excessive perspiration
Symptoms last for about 20-30 minutes not responding to medicines or sorbitrate.

At present the symptoms she has been described are not look like heart attack, but for safety purpose better to consult your treating doctor and ask for ecg.
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
