At her age it is unlikely to be caused by her heart. However, if she is having chest pain with the shortness of breath then she needs to be checked out emergently. The most likely cause of her shortness of breath and fatigue is from a metabolic, endocrine, electrolyte, or reproductive issue. Therefore she should get some blood work to make sure she does not have any of these issues.
