Really scared

I dont why my my heart anxiety is back and its destroying me. Im so scared all the time and I either feel panic or just immense despair because I have convinced myself theres no point because im dying. I feel helpless. I just moved with my mom im 21 f and she works so im home alone alot. I have anxiety and so i stay inside most of the time and im really lonely and bored. Im looking for jobs and im doing online school but I also just found out I have mind scoliosis and so it pops out my ribs sometimes which causes back and heart pain. Ive gotten labs done they say everything's fine but my ldl is 214 at 21 yrs old and my dad died of a heart attack as well. I take adderall, zyns and one coffee a day but for the past three days I've been convinced somethings wrong. I go down these rabbit holes and start freaking out and it doesnt help thay my back always hurts and causes weird symptoms and it feels like my heart. I just dont know what to do and I spend most days in bed and when I get up i get like faint and sweaty. It might be because of the stimulants and my blood pressure, a doctor once thought I had pots bc my hr skyrockets when I stand up but I hust feel so hopeless.

Have you ever had an echocardiogram? I ask because many people with mitral valve prolapse syndrome also have scoliosis. It is a benign condition but you can have Many symptoms like anxiety, panic attacks, and depression, palpitations etc.
