Q: Anxiety Or Congestive Heart Failure?

Hello,
i am a 27 yrs old female, 5.2 ft with no apparent physical problems
except for being tired and weak for the last 6 months and having some
chest pain at times. From time to time I get lightheaded but I do not
understand how significant this is. Are these symptoms something to
worry about? My primary care doctor told me that this is mostly due to
anxiety but I might have to go and get checked by a specialist if there is
something wrong with my heart. One term he used was congestive heart
failure, but he didn't sound that it is very serious.
Am I worrying to much about this? I do have some stress in my life (i
am a graduate student), but I want to go to the end of this situation
since it takes a toll on my school performance.
Is this congestive heart failure something serious? Is there a higher
risk for heart attack if you have this? Thanks a lot!

Rebecca
