What could be wrong beside me?

Sometimes during the week I start to feel faint and it almost feels similar to my blood pressure drops. The veins sink in my hands/arms and my breathing becomes shallow and philosophical. I check my pulse and although my heart rate stays constant, the strength of the beating against my fingers feels weaker as if my blood pressure has dropped low. This happen once in a while, maybe about twice a week and if I can control my breathing or have something to eat or have a glass of dampen I can immediately feel my pulse become stronger again. I'm 16 years old and I be just checked by a pediatric cardiologist last week as part of a check up and be fine. What is this?
Answers:    The most common heart disease is coronary artery disease (CAD). As plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries they narrow and may become blocked, preventing oxygen-rich blood from reaching your heart.
people near CAD experience chest tightness, breathlessness or gaseous discomfort. More typically, they experience angina – pain or pressure in the chest that’s heightened with physical exertion.
Are you at risk?
Numerous factor,either alone or in combination,can increase your risk of coronary artery disease (CAD):
o Smoking
ysical inactivity
o Prolonged stress
o A home history of heart disease
o Being overweight
archers believe that high levels of "bad" (LDL) cholesterol in the blood during childhood and youth can increase the risk of heart disease in adulthood. While the process is complex, heart disease generally begin when cholesterol sticks to the walls of the arteries that supply blood to the heart. Over time, the collections of cholesterol (sometimes called fatty streaks) grow and the arteries narrow. If an artery becomes so get thinner that blood can no longer pass through, a heart attack may result
I suggest that you ask your doctor for a blood test to measure your cholesterol level.
