Q: Overheated Mac HELP!

In the last week my MacBook Pro (13in, Mid 2012) [processor 2.9 GHz intel core i7, storage 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3]has started to overheat, and I mean real hot. It has always been really warm but never hot to the touch and the fan has been running so high recently. Also, after I charge to the full 100% and unplug my Mac can't hold its usual battery life. What is happening to my baby?! I do not do heavy work or have any apps that may cause my Mac to freak out, so that is not the case. I am just a student, writing essays and the usual thing. I've tried doing a SMC reset, that didn't seem to work, I've let my mac die completely then replug and try - doesn't change. Im really stressed because I cannot afford another computer. and I haven't even had this one very long. Please Help!!

 

I have a feeling it might be the new El Capitan Update because since then my Mac has been burning me.

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)
