Welcome to the forum!
In all probability what you have is an inflammatory bowel disease such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, or IBS. The symptoms point towards this. This does not look like a heart problem. It can also be an intolerance or sensitivity to some food items like gluten, lactose, eggs, sea food, citrus fruits etc.
I would strongly recommend you to see a gastroenterologist (a specialist who looks after the diseases of our digestive system). It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
