What are the symptoms of exam anxiety?
Test anxiety can manifest itself on several levels in the short or long term. For example, on a cognitive level, when negative thoughts and great self-doubt lead to a distorted perception. On an emotional level through pronounced (permanent) tension. On an actional level, when those affected by test anxiety try to escape the situation. Finally, on a physical level, when the body reacts with psychological or physiological symptoms. For example:
- Increase in high blood pressure
- Sweating and trembling
- Palpitations
- Urge to urinate
- Nausea, stomach pain and diarrhea
- Sleep disorders
- Inner restlessness, dizziness
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Head, neck and back pain
- Cardiovascular diseases due to the excess stress hormones emitted
- Depression
A doctor should be consulted if symptoms and complaints are severe.
