Depression?: Unless you are suffering from severe heart failure, these symptoms are most suggestive of depression and not a heart attack.

Be safe, get checked: What you are describing doesn't sound like a heart attack. However, a young person with a history of heart disease and these symptoms is concerning. This combination does sound like it could be depression but with your history it is wise to see your doctor and make sure it is not your heart disease progressing or some other medical condition like thyroid disease.
