at your age it would be doubtful that you have coronary artery disease, tho that high fat diet will hurt you later in life. It is more likely that you have an anxiety disorder, or perhaps a congenital defect in the heart itself. Suggest you start with seeing a cardiologist and if all turns out well there, then see a psychiatrist.

Get your Lipid profile and an ETT done to reach a conclusive diagnosis. Consult a good cardiologist as early as you can.
Your symptoms point to exertional angina.
