My advice: Go to a medical doctor and get a thorough physical. If any medical problems are identified, address those. Assuming no cardiac or other medical problems are identified, get some treatment for the anxiety -- start with a reputable therapist. And stop googling symptoms. That will just increase your anxiety. You are young. Address the anxiety now, proactively. Don't let it become a lifelong problem.
