Hello, thanks for posting a question.
I understand your concern towards your boyfriend's health.
Chest pain alone is not a symptom of heart attack. Heart attack comes along with other symptoms like shortness of breath, palpitations, nausea etc.
I advise he sees a physician for check up because of his history of heart murmur, been overweight and smoking habit. Stay healthy
