Is The Bouts Of Diarrhea And Muscle Spasms In Shoulder Heart Related?

Hi I'm not having chest pain or shortness of breath at all. But I've become paranoid about heart disease as it runs in our family history. I have muscle fatigue especially around the shoulders and have not been sleeping well. I see a massage therapist at least 1 -2 times a month. I weight 260 lbs and am 38 yrs old. I alos have IBS. Since yesterday I have been having bouts of diarherra an am concerned its heart related. Please tell me its not my heart. I took my blood pres and it is 120/81 pulse is 85.
