I would say you have enough abnormal symptoms to discuss them with your doctor. Some of them could be anxiety related but more than likely there is more going on. As far as the bad taste in your mouth is concerned you may have some sinus/ear issues causing post nasal drip which is more noticeable after lying down for long periods of time.
Some of your panic and other pyschological issues could be an underlying symptoms of something else but you may be a good candidate for anti depressant meds. You should talk to your parents and tell them what has been going on and don't be afraid to tell the doctor everything you are feeling because that's the only true way to get to the bottom of this. More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
