You likely have experienced nicotine induced heart disease. Those symptoms are not cancer symptoms. It's great that you stopped vaping. If symptoms do not resolve/improve after three months, you should see a cardiologist.

It is not feasible to provide an opinion without additional history, physical examination may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor to see if you may be depressed. Depression is treatable. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
