Have GERD, Have Abdominal Discomfort. Short Breath. Feels Like A Heart Attack. Pain In Breast Bone. Treatment?

HI, I"m a 54 year old male 5'6'' 232 lbs. Pre diabetic, have gerd, and symptoms of Barrets esophogus . Over the past 10 or so days I have been experiencing abdominal discomfort such as an empty stomach, but not hungry. I get short of breath, and have been very tired. Sometimes it seems as if I am panting like a dog. Also feels as if my back needs a chiropractic adjustment. The stomach pain is just below my breast bone, and some times I think I'm having a heart attack (family history of heart ). I would like to go see my doctor but fear that he is going to order a gammet of tests and fearing that they won't find anything and then I'll have a metric-shit ton of medical bills to pay.
