18 with multiple symptoms? What could it be

hi, im an 18 year old female and ivebeen very worried the past few weeks because of some symptoms that have been reacurring that i know realize have been happening for a very long time so i'll start from the beginning. For about a year or so i've been feeling very tired all the time. Not sleepy tired, more like my body itself is tired no matter how much i sleep or how much rest i get, i feel weak and tired all the time. about 3 months ago i lost my father to heart failure after his valve replacement surgery. About a month after that i felt this crushing tightness in my chest mainly on my left side and the pain radiated to my left arm. I remmeber one day the ache was so bothersome that i didnt get out of bed all day, i felt horribly lightheaded and had jaw pain and was overall feeling horrible. A lot of people (not doctors) said it was probably anxiety or stress (please note i have never been clinically diagnosed with anxiety nor do i believe i have anxiety) and my father passing made me believe they were right, i was pretty stressed and told myself thats why my chest was aching. After that the chest discomfort continued but it has been tolierable so i stopped paying too much attention to it in hopes it would just pass, however still 2 months later i continue to have chest discomfort that bothers me a lot. Its not a lot of pain itself its more just a bothersome dicomfort and ive realized that the pain is never always the same. The dull ache tends to shift around my chest, and most times also causes upper back burn near my shoulder blades and neck. Also sometimes it feels as if theres a fullness in my chest and throat rather than just a dull ache. The fulless is more bothersome bc it makes me feel like im not able to take a breath. Eveytime i try to take a deep breath its like my lungs stop at a certain point and so i cant take a deep enough breathe that i need. Ive also noticed chest discomfort is more obvious after i eat. Now while this chest pain has been going on for a little over 3 months, as of about a month my hands and feet and legs have started to feel numb and tingle a lot more often, every day actually. I could be sitting properly but my feet will start tingling and feel numbish or i'll get horrible leg cramps. Also the other day i felt a feeling of electric shock in my feet that threw me to the ground. It only lasted a second but that shock also happens in my hands and arm. So all of these symptoms ive just listed have proceeded after one another and now they all occur simultaniously. Also i have a head ache every single day or if its not a headache i'll have a migraine every week or so which is really annoying. I use to think it was due to my fathers passing but all this happens even when im the most calm. Oh and i also checked my blood pressure the other day and it was 76/44 which is NOT normal for me at all. My normal is usually somewhere around 112/90 and so i started checking regularly now and my blood pressure remains on the low side with the occasional normal bp and now im even more worried. I dont believe An 18 year old should nbe having all these symptoms if Everything is ok. So what could this possibly be?? I have a direct family history of heart disease (my late father was diagnosted with a valve disease when he was my age) and i also have a major family history of diabetes resulting neuropathathy and anemia and also MS. what could this possibly be?
