As a kid I had many health problems and had about 9 surgeries most of them on my heart, so don't think I don't know what your going through!.
It can be scary for a teen to tell their parents they think something as wrong and at your age you are afraid of pain and probably hate hospitals with a burning passion!.
The reality is!.!.!. even if you do see a doctor and they find a problem, the problem might be small!. It might be big!.
Either way, almost everyone with heart problems as a kid does NOT die!. They have many options that help you!.
Do not be afraid of the doctors, they are NOT going to let anything happen to you!.
Please just tell your parents and let them take you to your local doctor and they will do what they think is necessary which might include seeing a kid's heart doctor which is called a Pediatric Cardiologist!.
Heart disease in the family probably doesn't increase your risk because you are probably referring to Coronary Artery Disease and in children that doesn't really happen!.
I could give you a long list of things it could be but it might not be anything!.
In this world, people survive by acting when they think something is wrong!. NEVER think that it is wrong to go to a doctor!. Who cares what they think of you!. It's your life and you want to make sure you get the most of that life!.
Best of luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
