First have your parents let you see your doctor to be sure there are no treatable medical problems that may be causing or contributing to your symptoms such as hyperthyroidism. If not, your doctor can assess the severity of your symptoms and decide whether medications, counseling or relaxations techniques or a combination of these are best for you. Of course if you need us, we are here in the emergency department to help at any time! Wishing you well!
