Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Teenagers are more prone for stress and anxiety. And you're all symptoms are more suggestive of anxiety and panic disorder. But better to get done ECG and 2d echo to rule out cardiac diseases. If both these are normal then no need to worry much. Better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
