Stress cardiomyopathy, also known as broken heart syndrome
I have the symptoms but you apparently only can get it if a loved one dies, well I was in a long term relationship with my boyfriend and I gave myself to him completely, I lost my virginity to him, I did everything for him, I feel so deeply madly in love with him and he had me believing he loved me too
But just over a month ago he out of the blue left me and said he was having trouble at home and wanted to be single for a while but about 3 days later he asked some other girl out, he and her were really close friends, but now I feel lost and confused, I cried everyday for the 1st month and I have had a huge loss pf appetite and now I have lost weight and I know I am underweight and instead of crying now, I am facing occasional chest pains and constant headaches and feelings of nausia. My heart is always racing and before all of this I was completely healthy, no allergies, nothing wrong with my heart or anything.
The chest pains come more often and are more painful each time... I just got one then... ouch!
The memories of me and him flood my mind and I cannot get them out no matter how hard I try, I can't get over him, nothing works at all!
My mum reckons I am depressed but I don't intend on killing myself, but I do reckon if this gets worse, I might slip away. But maybe it's the only way to end this pain..
Help me!

Sounds like anxiety attacks to me.
You need to learn some stress relieving techniques and get your mind and yourself involved in things that distract you from thinking of him.
He evidently was not all that he lead you to believe he was.
I know it is hard but we all go through it and then something better and truer comes along
