A little bit of stress can be a good thing as it motivates us to knuckle down and work hard-it keeps us alert and focused. But exams can make stress levels get out of hand and too much stress over a period of time can begin to take its toll on the body. As a Therapist and Acupuncturist I see students on a regular basis with ailments such as psoriasis, eczema, depression, asthma and hayfever all of which can have an impact on exam performance.
The good news is that all of these symptoms can be managed once recognised and help is sought.
