Hello,
There are a few causes that might be the reason for her symptoms. Heart attack might cause chest pain but fever is not very common. Still it can not be prevented due to this.
She might also have a lung infection or a problem with her lungs or just a common viral infection causing all her symptoms.
The best way to make the difference is to have a check and listen to her lungs and to her heart and possibly having an ECG and sometimes if the doctor is suspecting a heart attack will do some blood tests like troponins blood levels to make sure.
Only after these examinations will the doctor know for sure the cause of her symptoms and the proper treatment.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
