ACCEPTED

Your symptoms are consistent with very serious -- even life-threatening -- heart problems.

This being the case, I strongly urge you to seek medical attention (such as from an ER) as soon as possible. Do Not Drive Yourself -- If there is not someone to take you -- Call 911 and ask for the paramedics.
