How To Treat Severe Heart Pain And Numbness And Being Diagnosed With Epilepsy?

I am a 17 year old girl,i am 5 7 and 130lbs..who also has epilepsy, and I ve been having these awful heart pains. It literally feels like a stitch across my heart. It lasts for a few minutes at a time and when i breathe in, while it hurts, the pain increases and feels 10x worse. During the pain theres also a weird achy pain too, and my heartbeat increases. Ive also been getting stabbing pains in the ribs and numbness in random parts of my body, like one thigh or right arm (it varies) They come at random times, and the heart and rib pains last a few minutes at a time. While the numbness can last longer. Never have i heard that epilepsy has ever caused things like this before, and ive had epilepsy since i was 8 months and these pains have been for over a year only.Is any of this normal? Or what could be causing this?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, for the epilepsy you will have to take medicine for long time, the disease may have some functional elements or the personality changes but you could come out of this, try to build up your confidence, now for the pain it may not be heart related pain but most probably it is the pain due to acidic phenomenon and it can be well managed with Tab Omeprazole 40 mg once in day, try to way from the stress, avoid eating spicy food hope this information helps.
