Your symptoms ....: Are suggestive of an anxiety disorder. If you have been drinking to excess, this may be contributing to your symptoms. I am glad you have cut down on your drinking. If you or a family member are concerned about your drinking then i would suggest a visit to your family physician.

Unlikely heart : Unlikely to be heart disease given your age but getting checked out by a physician would be most prudent action.
