The answer

Unfortunately, TeenHealthFX cannot diagnose over the internet. There may be a few reasons why you may feel the way you do and only a medical professional would be able to give you the best answer. We strongly suggest you reach out to a parent or guardian and make an appointment with your pediatrician or primary care doctor.
