Shortness of breath and heart problems in teen

I’ll be 19 next month. I have been dealing with some strange symptoms within the last two years of my life. It started with heart palpitation non stop that wouldn’t go away unless I sat down or stopped moving. It felt like my heart was jumping every second. Then came the shortness of breath, and the constant dizziness and headaches. I have shortness of breath EVERY single day. It gets better when I lay flat or kind of keep my mind off of it, but sometimes I get so out of breath I can hardly walk or talk or swallow. And I’ll start trembling and I’ll get really weak. I also have these huge heart “thumps” whenever I breath in deep or bend over. (I’m not sure how else to describe the feeling). I’ve been having pain in my jaw for several days now, on both sides. And a little in my neck. The pain starts with my chest. It’s not really bad pain and I usually ignore it. I’ve been to several doctors and even a heart specialist who refuses to do any further testing because I’m 18 and it’s “most likely” anxiety. But I don’t feel like it’s anxiety. The shortness of breath gets worse with certain body positions, and also after eating meals. I also get extreme fatigue and very rarely but it happens, blood in stool, which I’ve been noticing for sometime. No one takes me seriously and doubts any things wrong with me because of my age:(
