    Heart Disease or Diabetes?

    Hi guys,

    So now I've got more health worries.

    Specifically for the last month or so I've started getting a constant thirst which continues even when I literally stand there and drink a full 2 pints of water.

    This is combined with a "warm" feeling in my chest sort of like I'm dry or haven't had any water for the last 48 hours or something.

    I do get tiredness and out of breath even after doing simple things like walking upstairs and I get palpitations which have actually decreased in frequency from when I had bad health anxiety a while back.

    I also get frequent urination lately as well, and not so long ago it was found that I do only have 1 kidney as the other one appears to have been lost due to infection or some other cause (I've seen 4 different urologists about this)

    I've had countless ECGs done and blood tests, chest x-rays and even an ultrasound of my heart a few years ago but nothing is coming back with a cause.

    I have diabetes in the family and my GP sent me for a blood test today to see if my thyroid levels are normal etc... so hopefully that could answer a few questions.

    I'm really worried because although I'm only a 23 year old male I know that heart disease can strike at any time.

    I'm 5.3 feet tall and admittedly I am overweight at 12.6 stones, but I don't know if one diagnosis really explains ALL of my symptoms?

    Not at 23.
