The nightmare of a medical student

Based on a 6 year descriptional study and data collected only from myself, it can be safely concluded that the greatest nightmare of a medical student is when exams are moved forward.
There are obviously mixed reactions to this, then the subconscious comes into full force and remind the medical student of notes to be read and confirmations to be made and worse of all signatures to be completed.
With this awakening, some signs and symptoms start manifesting, the pathophysiology of which is not fully understood.
Symptoms include:
Persistent headaches
Irritability
Altered sensorium
Sinuisitis
Transient tinnitus
Loss of appetite or increased appetite
Palpitations
Occasional chest pain
Abdominal disturbances: diarrhoea, constipation.
Urinary incontinence +/-
Menstrual cycle disorders
Weight loss

Treatment:
Patient Education
100mg of chill pill 4 hourly
500mg of confidence pill daily
Remove other sources of stressors
Daily large doses of reading

Prognosis:
Prognosis is relatively good with 100% survival rate.
