My daughter always had anxiety like in new situations but when she graduated early before her friends because she wanted to she kinda had a shock in the change in lifestyle, going from having a very social life and zillions of friends to nothing, scared about starting college, and in her first real relationship and all the changes that go along with that. She had terrible anxiety whenever she went anywhere. She would become so tense that she cramped up her stomach so it was pressing on her bladder and she had to pee all the time, which is a common anxiety symptoms.
She came to me and told me I had to take her to her pediatrician and he said this is common and we made an appointment for a psychotherapist. She only went 6 times so far and it turned her life around. Its not like you are crazy because you go to one of these psychologists. They teach you techniques to the way you think. They gave her a CD to listen to. She went off to college like after her 3rd session for a summer bridge program which helps you ease into college so its not so overwhelming and she is doing great. She now sees the therapist every month or so and the sessions are just 50 minutes.
Please make an appointment to go. Some techniques are positive thinking, cognitive therapy imagery, diaphragmatic breathing and relaxation. so for now you can search the internet and look up how to help you.

You would do best to go to a family practice doctor. There are medications that can help you with those symptoms. They may also refer you to a counselor. But start with that.
Do not put it off because it may get worse. Medication also takes almost four weeks to work effectively.

well you said that you are obese… that can make you feel tired and heart race doing very little. Being heavy is hard on the heart because it has to work harder to feed blood to all the stored fat. I also assume that if you are obese then your diet is not so good. Eating better foods and staying away from all the processed fried gunk does more than improve your health, it improves your mood as well. When i eat fatty fast foods i feel, "blah" and my body is fatigued. you will feel better. Make your meals look like a rainbow (natural color like fruits and vegetables) and stay away from anything white (refined sugar, white bread) or beige. Notice how all the fried foods, and pastries and most aything that can be described as a heart-attack-on-a-plate or goes-straight-to-your-thigs are beige. Talk to your parents, they should be more responsible with your diet.
If your weight is contributing to your fear of dying, do something about the problem instead of trying to get doped up to forget about the problem.
