Abstract
Abstract: Medical graduates experiencing stress at various phases of academic activities. Pre examination stress is so happening condition among medical graduates. Several studies have been conducted, still it is poorly understood that which changes are specific to stress. This study carried out to assess the physiological parameters in medical students under examination stress. A total 120 exam going medical students and 60 age, sex matched control subjects were included. Pulse rate in exam stress shows a raise before examination (90.1) and quite less after examination (84.2).Diastolic Blood pressure rises significantly after exams (80.06). Systolic blood pressure shows a raise before examination (134.8) and quite less after examination (127.9).Respiratory rate was high in before examination (18.02) and significantly decreased after examination (14.79). There was significant rise in pulse rate, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure in before examination. Total red blood cells and leucocytes were significantly more in before exam and reduced after examination.
