Hello everyone!
First of all, I want to thank you all because this forum is really an amazing place where I always look at if I have any question regarding biochemistry, biology etc.
Thanks to all the information I was able to get from the forum and from Ray's articles I basically cured my hypotiroidsm two years ago (I went from 4.5+ TSH to like 1.5, improving a lot my digestion problems I had when I was on low carb high fiber paleo).
Now I would really love your advice since I find myself into a pretty annoying condition and I don't know where to start to fix it.
I'm a quite fit young man (26), working out since I was 18, but last year, due to a sternum problem I had to stop training. Not only that, but last December I woke at like 1 A.M. with this terrifying feeling of difficulty of breathing. Not feeling oppressed or something like that, but something more like I really have to force it like I have to lift weights, it was like my hearth was producing a lot of lactic acid (probably was not, just the feeling), and that really scares me. After two hours it got better a bit and I was able to sleep. From that night I have always felt tired, but not really like tired when you have done something heavy, it's more like I am deprived of energy (some days more some days less). I had a couple of cases of those strange hearth attacks but it's like 5-6 months that I don't have one anymore (now I really try to avoid any kind of stress).
That's pretty much it, I feel like there is something in my chest that is subtracting my energy from me and the feeling is like the one you have when you want to cry a lot and scream but force yourself not to. Some nights this feeling makes me think that I'm going to have an hearth attack or something so I'm really annoyed and I want to investigate since it's too much time I'm having this.
For sure I will do blood labs, any suggestion about what to measure?
Also I think I will screen some of my organs, the problem is probably somewhere between hearth, lungs and stomach I think (what do you think?) and maybe infection related (I always had bacterial problems, took like A LOT of probiotics during my paleo period). Is there some check to do which is not harmful like x-rays?
Thanks a lot for reading this lol and sorry for my bad English, not my native language.

I was at a friend party (very easy, no alchol or drugs or whatever) and even if I wasn't hungry I ate a lot of rice just to make sure I have enough energy to go through the evening. A bit after midnight I went to bed and then I started to tremble A LOT, my temp dropped to like 35.5 celsius and my hearth rate was 120-130bpm so I went to the hospital.. They did me a X-ray to the chest and some labs (which I integrated today with some others) and I really don't understand the results.. My hearth looked fine (also tested troponine and it was low) and there was no sign of infection (low crp, ultra low esr, white blood cells in range). My x ray scan showed something on the 10th rib and the physician told me it is usually a sign of pneumonia but since the inflammation markers were really low she said that it was just an "artifact" of the scan. BUT now that I see my other labs and I have positive anti streptolysin O, (299 and the bound is 200) so I don't know what to think. I also have very low vitamin D, 13 ng/mL. It is possible that I have an infection but my immune system just doesn't do much? Have someone any idea? I have no others values out of scale (tsh ok albumin ok electrolytes ok etc), only colesterol is high (266) but I think it's ok since I'm 25 lean and muscular
