Sweetheart, I think you should tell your mom and see a doctor. Please see a doctor for me.

Andrew, I skimmed through your past posts and it appears that there is more to this. I see a few red flags for a very serious medical condition which is about to get much, much worse. It is already bad, because it is affecting your sleep AND your academics. When a medical issue is so bad that it is affecting your school, it is called a disability!!!

Therefore, this needs to be taken care of.

Here is my fear, you are a young adult (or about there), which is the usual age at which these medical disorders begin to manifest. That means that the current symptoms are just a precursor to something that is going to get worse -especially as you add the stress of transitioning to college!!

You need to see a psychiatrist, who is a medical doctor. The medical issue(s) you have are probably a mental disorder. The psychiatrist can order the necessary medical tests to rule out heart issues AND do the necessary evaluation to determine if you have a mental disorder (which you probably do).

Here is the good news: the psychiatrist will then review your treatment options. Trust me, what you have will respond very well to professional treatment. You deserve some peace. You desereve to rest. You deserve to have a social life again -which is especially important in college.

The psychiatrist will put you back in control of your symptoms.

Note: I work at a major university with students with disabilities. I work with hundreds of students each year (we have over 600 students registered with us). Many have mental disorders, emotional disorders, anxiety disorders, etc. I know that the students who comply with treatment from the psychiatrist have peace and are functional. They have friends, they have a life, they stay awake in class, and graduate with peers.

The students who have mental disorders who do not comply with the psychiatrist? They live in horrid dysfunction. They cannot maintain friends, they cannot cope with life, they usually drop out of school. Other than that, I have no idea what eventually happens to them.

Your choice.

if the doctor or school nurse says nothing is wrong then its anxiety, which is also known as fear, you have the habit of fear

accept the pounding, talk to your heart and say its OK for it to pound

get comfortable in bed and breathe deep and slow, avoid rapid shallow panting

my heart hammered and pounded until I did this
