hi
looks like you are too young, but under multiple addictions with tobacco, marijuana, cocaine,& methadone, both stimulatory and inhibitory effects.
most of your symptoms are drug induced.
chest symptoms can be stress induced or due to severe gastritis, or really cardiac related.
it is good to rule out for symptoms of mitral valve prolapse, with an echocardiography & take a cardiology opinion
what history you have related regarding your father , grandparents are non significant with your problem as they have got age related problems, does not co-relate with your present problems.
all the best
take care
