Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Your problem isn't related to heart disease but more likely is due to liver, hormonal disbalance, infection and tumoral disease.

This is why I would like to recommend doing the following examinations:
- Blood work including liver panel.
- Abdominal ultrasound
- Nipple ultrasound
- Chest x ray
This examinations will help to differentiate between different diagnosis and find the accurate one.

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
