Worried about Heart Problems: Seeking Advice

I’ve been having heart problems for a couple months, but they’ve been getting worse recently. I’m experiencing pain and tightness near my heart along with my lungs, elevated and noticeably heavy heart-rate/palpitation, random bouts of radiating heat and chills, trouble breathing, weakness, although starving, a complete lack of appetite, nausea, and so much more. I can’t go to my doctor’s for the next few days, and am really worried about this. I’m worried, because both sides of my family has history of heart disorders. I know I shouldn’t be jumping to conclusions without a diagnosis, but the only thing I’ve come across that matches my symptoms almost perfectly is Congestive Heart Failure. It seems that, recently, I’ve developed Central Sleep Apnea which also goes hand in hand with CHF. I’m very worried about this potentially being the case, and my mind would be put at ease if someone could disprove my suspicions.

I’m so sorry to hear this 😥 I have anxiety also and it’s scary when you start thinking about your health. If you want to talk I’m here for you 😊

@Chlo Yep, ever since I was little, I’ve had horrible anxiety and panic attacks. All my previous medications I took for it caused a bunch of side effects. It’s been a while since I’ve had something to help it.

How about before you noticed these problems? Like were you really stressed out?

@Chlo Yes, I do, actually. I’ve been really stressed out for the past couple weeks due to all of these problems. It definitely has made me feel worse.

@littlerolls Thank you so much for your concern. I’ve actually been to the hospital, where they tested me for covid, and it came back negative. They DID suggest that I had an upper respiratory infection, though. I’ve always had heart problems, but it only seem to be getting worse as of now. Really worrying stuff. :/

I am so sorry to hear this. That must be very scary not knowing. I personally don’t know what it could be, however to maybe(?) put your mind at ease, many of those listed are also Covid symptoms. Which isn’t the best but it’s better the CHF! I have it right now.
