Anxiety: Feeling weight in the stomach and chest, and hands and feet feeling cold are likely symptoms of anxiety. Your fear that it may lead to panic attacks seems to indicate feeling overwhelmed with stresses of relationship, unresolved conflicts, school, and peer pressure at age 16. Alcohol and drug use can make these symptoms worse. Please see a psychiatrist for diagnosis and treatment.
