Stress is our body’s way of responding to any kind of demand or threat. It stimulates the body’s defences to kick into high gear, a rapid automatic process known as the fight-or-flight reaction.

Exam Stress is something we all are likely to experience at some point or another during our life. Our nervous system responds by releasing a flood of stress hormones including Adrenaline and Cortisol, which get the body ready for emergency action. ( Check out our recommendations for natural remedies for exam stress relief below)
Exam Stress can make you feel the following stress symptoms:
- Your heart rate increases,
- muscles tighten,
- blood pressure rises,
- breathing quickens and your senses become sharper.
This is to increase your strength and stamina, speed up your reaction time and enhance your focus helping you to either fight or flee from the ‘perceived’ danger at hand.
So When Does Stress Become A Problem & Go From Being a Primal Survival Mechanism To A Serious Health Threat?
When the body is exposed to perceived threatening situations too frequently and for prolonged periods of time, leading to being in a heightened state of stress most of the time resulting in serious health issues.
High Levels Of Pre-Exam Stress Can Lead To Anxiety & Poor Performance
Stress levels can be higher than usual around exam time and a lot of students suffer from:
✓ Confusion
✓ Exhaustion
✓ Over-whelm
✓ The end result affects performance
Exam Stress Affects Your Performance
Your nervous system isn’t very good at distinguishing between an emotional and physical threat so your body may have a ‘high stress’ response during exam time. However, by understanding, that this is a natural response and that there are natural remedies and tools such as meditation and breathwork to help you with the symptoms, so your exam stress can be managed.
