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.
