I do not smoke, and actually had an EKG at the Emergency Room today which came back normal. Could a normal EKG mean heart failure is off the table? Your positive words mean the world to me, friend.

Well, heart failure is a clinical diagnosis. An EKG may help but doesnt give you the answer. For example the EKG can tell you there might have been a heart attack or signs of decreased oxygen or clue you in that one side of the heart is enlarged but thats about it.We usually use a combination of symptoms and labs to say someone has heart failure. Again, your PCP will be able to help. Again there are a few diet threads on here were guys your size have dropped a bit of weight.
NAD, but a nurse and in general was worried for you! Glad to see your update! Im sorry you are feeling so isolated, but glad you found resources! Hang in there.
I'm locking your thread since you don't seem to have additional questions. Thank you for the update though, and we wish you all the best.
