Do i have heart failure? i'm 18 with sleep apnea, chronic stress, hbp, fatigue, palpatation, short of breath and many other issues that aren't solved

Probably not, but: It sounds like there are quite a few symptoms that should be evaluated. An echocardiogram would tell about your heart function and potentially if there are any heart structural reasons for fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath. An event monior would help assess if there is a heart rhythm cause of palpitations. An 18yo with hypertension is unusual- will need consideration for other causes.

Heart failure : Is a clinical diagnosis supported by a battery of test like chest x ray, 2d echocardiogram, ekg and labs like b natriuretic peptide. History and physical very important before any test. Most common cause of sleep apnea is obesity. And may be the htn, palpitation, sob and fatigue is all because of the obesity/osa/physical deconditioning syndrome. At 18 doubt you are in chf. But see your physician.
