Need more info: These symptoms can be caused by a thyroid problem, hypertension, or a heart rhythm problem. At your age it may be an early warning sign that you have to visit your family physician NOW for a through exam and blood tests.

See doctor: There are many things that could cause this. It would be good to see a doctor and have an exam and some basic blood tests looking at for anemia and thyroid disease. In the mean time avoid caffeine, nicotine and alcohol and drink plenty of water, at least 6 large glasses a day.
