Belching

  Description of Belching Self Care Questions To Ask Your Doctor About Belching Description of Belching Everyone belches or burps at one time or another to relieve gas buildup in the stomach. It may often be embarrassing, but for the vast majority of people, occasional belchin is not a problem that needs medical attention. Belching (eructation) is triggered in two ways. First, too much gas is produced in the stomach by eating such foods as bran, raw fruit, vegetables, or by drinking gaseous liquids such as beer, soda, or seltzer.

Fatigue

Fatigue is a form of generalized pain whose function is to signal the need for rest and recuperation. But chronic fatigue is usually a misleading signal that does more harm than good, and needs treatment. Since it is a type of pain, analgesics/ pain-killers may be an effective treatment of fatigue. Fatigue is an emotion - and an emotion is a body state as perceived by the brain. For example, anxiety is the brain’s perception of the body’s physical state of arousal and preparedness for action (hair on end, thumping heart etc). Similarly, fatigue is the brain’s perception of a state of physical exhaustion of the body induced by excessive activity. The brain interprets these body signals of fatigue as indicating a need to stop activity. Fatigue is therefore an emotion that signals the need for rest, for physical recuperation.

Many students who fear examinations suffer from perfectionism, and thus often also of performance anxiety.
