<p>I have taken 15 hours this semester, but I had to withdraw from pre-calc and possibly now chemistry. The classes both have tests on the computer, which I hate, but I know that I have to complete them later so I can go to med school. However, before my tests I have noticed that I have uncontrollable anxiety. Sweating, shaking, heart beat racing, and worry are what happens to me during the exam. This never really happened to me during high school, and I don't understand why I am getting it now... I have decided that I am probably going to get tested for test anxiety, but will this have a negative impact on my application to med schools?</p>
<p>You might want to see a doctor. The symptoms you list are also symptoms of panic attacks. There is behavior modification therapy and medication available to alleviate these types of symptoms. There is no reason that, with good medical treatment, you would not be able to fulfill your educational goals, including medical school. See a doctor, preferably one with experience treating anxiety. I'd advise both psychologist/therapist and medical/psychiatric as part of figuring out how to solve your problem. Good luck, this entirely treatable.</p>
