Do I have heart disease?

I'm 6'2 200 pounds, 19 years of age, I'm not in great shape, but I'm not overweight quite yet. I have a good bit of muscle tone to add to that... But to the story... I have been having problems for 2 years with my heart. Back in 2013 a couple of friends and I partook in some illegal activities, and I smoked pot and drank about 3 red bulls, which sent me into an svt attack... I went to the hospital, they said I was fine. Over the course of these two years I have had "angina" "water retention" (feet swelling) everything that comes with chf and so forth... But I have had countless ekgs and blood tests done... And a few chest X-rays. They all say I'm fine! I just have a severe panic and anxiety disorder... My Bp has been up to 185/105 and pulse will just spike up really high out of nowhere... I've been to several doctors and they all say I'm healthy as an ox... I just need to "see a psychiatrist" but I can't help but to feel like it's something way more serious... (Tumor, chf, cardiovascular disease etc) it's killing me. I just want to know what's wrong with me or I want my normal life back...

    If you wont take your doctors advice, why do you go to them? Im pretty sure they know more about it than you do. Go and see a doctor who is able to treat any mental conditions you may have. Or at least give you ways of dealing with your panic attacks.

    Sounds like anxiety and hypochondria.
