I am sorry to hear your sad story.You certainly have a lot on your shoulders.Looking after your mother who is 92 is hard work and especially as you are not well yourself.Your heart condition won't be helped by all the stress you are under.My mother is 87 and cannot walk,she needs help to eat and use the bathroom,she is almost blind.Panic attacks aren't much fun either.You must try and eat well and get proper rest in your bed so you can sleep well too.
