Nervous before exam?

I'm always nervous going to the doctor

I get butterflies, sweaty palms, the works!

That is the joy of it

Yes. Always have been nervous and erect before exam. So embarrassing - hate it and love it at same time.

I am always nervous and feel my heart in my throat.

Yes always! my blood pressure always is sky high.

I'm usually quite nervous when going to new doctors and my sweaty palms start dripping with alot more sweat!

Thank goodness I had a cloth gown and could wipe and dry my palms on the gown.

I'm always somewhat nervous (which means my blood pressure is up). Even if i know exactly what is going to happen, I'm somewhat nervous.

As a child and teen I remember being terribly nervous before any medical exam and none more so than those health checks done at school. Whether it be an eye sight test, hearing test, immunisations, headlice checks or the school dentist my nerves would steadily grow from the day we were given letters informing our parents of the the imminent exam to the line up outside the school medical office on the day of the exam.

I tend to be nervous or anxious, in large part because I'm afraid I will get an erection, even if I've masturbated beforehand.

When i visit any sexy doctor i feel littile nervous becaus i only get undress

After everything I have put this old body through this is usually not a problem for me.

Twice in my life have I ever had a hard time.

The first was when they told me I would be in a leg brace the rest of my life. (Turned out not true)

The second was just before they did five coronary bypasses.

Personally, I still get apprehensive before a physical or medical procedure but nothing compared to what I felt when I was young. Back in the 1950s it was common to be completely naked during a physical exam but group nudity was accepted as the norm, too, at least for boys. (For example, we had swimming as a part of PE (Phys Ed) in both Jr and Sr High School and we all swam naked.) Swimming naked felt natural but being naked for the doctor to poke and probe made me feel very self-conscious and embarrassed.

Combining the two things, group nudity and physical exams, in the form of a nude group sports physical results in the perfect storm of embarrassment. 😃

You're absolutely right and you triggered a memory of my youth. For Summer School, the school district combined all classes on one campus. Without giving prior notice, all students were given physical exams. When our class was called, the boys were taken to one room which served as a makeshift clinic and the girls to another. There were perhaps 12 of us boys and we were told to form two lines and strip down to our underwear. We all complied with the directive, except for one boy. He made no move to undress as the rest of us stripped - some of us completely comfortable being exposed and others red-faced with embarrassment. When finally questioned why he wasn't undressing, the young boy was forced to confess he was wearing no underwear. It was a terrible moment for him but, fortunately, no one used the opportunity to poke fun at the boy. The school officials worked around the boy's situation and each of us had our turn to have a one-on-one with the doctor. There was no total nudity but standing in line wearing only a thin pair of briefs still made one feel very much exposed.

I am allways nerouse befor an exam. The thing am most nervouse for is the auscultation of heart and lungs. It is a thing I had dislike from I was a little kid. I dont know why, but i never have came over that thing. So when i am on an medical examination is all the other things ok, any than the stethoscope exam. I am no problem with anything else.

These days, for a real life exam, my nerves are about my health.

As I go every year to have a complete "lookover", I just fell exited when I enter into the docs office, knowing that I will be asked to strip nacked in a few minutes time and let my body been "overlooked" from head to toe! The greatest "thing" at the end - feeling the finger of my doc entering in my ..... to get my prostate control!

I always get quite nervous! I think it's more anticipation than anything else! Got an appt on Tuesday so will be sharing all with the forum!

I think that I have always had a bit of white coat syndrome, but as I get older it seems to be getting worse. I think that this is due to the fact that as we grow older there is a better chance of them finding something wrong and we are hoping that it won't be nothing too serious. So to answer the question Yes I'm always very nervous before and during any Doctors exam.

That all depends on the purpose of the visit. Is it problem centric, or a wellness check or routine physical.

If it is problem centric, there is sometimes the fear of the unknown. After all, if you knew exactly what the problem was and what to do about it, you might not be at the doc's office in the first place. So there is the fear of what may be found.. In 2001, I was very fearful of what might be found after a cardiac stress test showed abnormalities. I went in for an angioplasty and they found I needed bypass surgery.

Routine physicals have never turned up anything unexpected. They have diagnosed high blood pressure and diabetes, but these were not surprises an the numbers had been trending the wrong way for two or three years.

So in general, I have no dread or anxiety before a visit. But every once in a while, there is something to worry about.

Never nervous,but very excited.I love most all medical exams.I sart thinking about the exam,on the day that I book one,and get very excited esecially for my GYNO exams!!

I think its only normal to have nerves for a exam and all the questions as if what will they find or will it hurt but having someone you trust to go to is half the battle.

One exam that I will always remember when I was 14 and told my new stepmother that I wasn't feeling well enough to go to school. She told me that a nurse friend could stop by and give me a quick checkup to see why I didn't feel well. My stepmother had just married my dad two months earlier so I did not know her very well. At about 9;30 that morning the nurse came to my house and told me to go up to my bedroom and take everything off except my underpants. A few minutes later she came into my room WITH MY STEPMOTHER. She was wearing her nurse uniform so I was OK with her examining me but I didn't want my stepmother there. I started complaining when my stepmother said she had taken some nursing courses and was going back to nursing school soon. While she was talking I saw the nurse putting some lubricant on a thermometer then in a really stern voice told me "roll over honey I need to take your temperature" I refused and the next thing I knew my stepmother came over to my bed and turned me onto my stomach and the nurse pulled down my underpants, spread my buttocks, and inserted the glass thermometer into my rectum and held it there. I was so embarrassed and my stepmother kept stroking my forehead and telling me to relax and that it wasn't that bad. After removing the thermometer she immediately gave me a rectal exam despite my protests. The nurse looked at my stepmother and said" he really needs an enema" . I knew what an enema was and told her there was NO WAY I was going to get an enema. She just smiled and said " You need something to relax you, then looked at my stepmother and said "I'm going to give him a quick shot to calm him down, if thats OK with you" My stepmother looked very serious and said "you are the Nurse and I really think it would help calm him for the enema" My stepmother continued to talk to me while the nurse filled a Hypodermic syringe with some medicine and I saw the needle was really long. I remember pleading for a smaller needle but she just ignored me, leaned over while my stepmother held my hips still, and gave me the most painful shot that I can remember. After the shot I started to feel a little sleepy but I remember getting the enema and going to the bathroom shortly after. I always felt my stepmother really enjoyed helping the nurse that day. I never told her I was too sick for school after that. She did go back to nursing school but I never let her examine me after that one time.

Nervousness is always present for me rather it be a real or play exam. My being nervous and embarrassed seems to enhance my sexuality which almost always results in a full erection in front of a doctor or nurse.

Always nervous and if it involves stripping off worried about getting an erection. If I think that likely jack off beforehand and definitely afterwards.

I had a physical this week and the nurse took my blood pressure at the beginning of the exam before the doctor came in and it was pretty high so later during the actual exam the doctor took my blood pressure again and it was more normal so I would say I must get nervous even if I don't really feel it.

I think it is normal to be nervous

It all depends on what type of exam it is, for most exams i am not nervous at all, most of my illnesses are the same over and over so you know for sure what is going to happen when you go in and meet with the physician, however its the illness/exam that you don't get regularly that makes you nervous as you have no clue on what going to happens and what will get done to you.

Yes of course. You know you will have to undressen and will be naked in front of a strange person and you don't know whats gonna happen. It is quite natural that you are nevous
