I have lived in this home for almost six years and never had electricity problems. Recently, light bulbs in various rooms both upstairs and downstairs started dying a lot quicker than usual. Tonight, I noticed that one out of two heaters in one upstairs bedroom completely stopped working. That room is very cold despite setting a high temperature on the thermostat. What's going on? Can I fix this by myself or do I absolutely need to call an electrician? Is this all connected?

whoa this sounds dangerous. I am not an electrician by a longshot, but i know enough to know that anything sketchy leaves you open to the risk of a hideous home fire.
To me the dying light bulbs makes me wonder if somehow there's excessive surge coming through your house. YOu are suffering from overvoltage, possibly because of the electric heaters, or some electric malfunction. This is also the sort of situation that can burn out computer harddrives
Have you had a lightning storm recently? Or did you recently acquire the space heaters and did your problems begin after?
Most likely your house electrical system is not designed to put up with something that you have done or has recently happened and you should dfinitely get it checked out.
some people on this forum think that using the wrong bulbs can do this too, and then it's not such a grave problem www.electriciantalk.com/
