The good news is that your heart is probably fine. You're young and the body is resilient. The bad news is that this was your body's way of warning you.

By reading your posts, your diet alone is real unhealthy. It's putting a lot of stress on your body and heart. Drink Gatorade (will help with the electrolyte problem) and drink some Ensure if you can't handle food. I'd even recommend popping some fish oil for your heart too a few times a day. Slow down your daily routine and take a real vacation. Get away from the computer for a few days, it can do wonders.

I'd also ask your doctor about medicine for dealing with your anxiety (which it seems is your primary problem). Xanax is a wonder drug and a lot of guys here take it. Just be careful not to get too addicted to it, just use it when you need a mental break.

Your symptoms scream out anxiety and panic disorder. It happens to the best of us. Can be real scary but try not to let that burden you. Just take a step back from life for a little bit and relax. Making money doesn't mean shit if you aren't alive to spend it. Best of luck in your upcoming doctor visits.

Hope all works out.
