Loud sudden scratchy heart beat. What is it? what should i do?

Yesterday i took the SAT, which is a exam used for college admission. I was nervous and anxious and the test lasted for about four hours. That night i took a light walk that did not cause me to become out of breath or tired. Half an hour after i came home and layed down and felt a jabbing pain into my heart. This has happened to me before and it goes away on its own if i stretch or something. However, the pain got much worse in 20 minutes. Breathing too deeply in hurt and making large movements made the jabbing pain worse. I was sitting and i heard my heart was very audible from sitting. People from a few feet away could hear it too. It had a rhythem and sounded like a wet-scratchy noise. I went to bed and would wake up in the middle of the night from the noise. The position i was sleeping in created or stopped the noise. Sleeping on my left side stopped me from breathing in too deeply and created the noise. Making sudden movements or stretching makes the jabbing pain. Im 16 years old.
Answer:
Probably nerves and stress. However, worrying about this will make it worse so see a cardiologist and find out for sure.
Take ECG and consult a cardiologist now itself.
I think you are under stress, if it comes back try to caugh, but I think you should have it cheked by your doctor, and I would like to know what he will say to you, good luck
Why someone would tell you they could hear your heart from across the room is beyond me unless they have bionic hearing - it is just not possible. You, however can "hear" it because of blood flow and your many pulse sites. What you describe sounds like it came on from anxiety possibly mixed with a bit of indigestion also from anxiety. It is wise to see your doctor non the less. If it is just anxiety you will want to get it under control before beginning college any how.
Don't mess around when it comes to the heart...no matter what age you are! Please get it checked out by a specialist.
I would go see a Doctor immediately, those are signs that there is something wrong, don't sit on it and wait.. get to a doctor immediately, if it happens again get to emergency at once. Have them run an EKG.
see a doctor as soon as possible...don,t count on it to go away.may be serious.
