When i was at high school, i considered myself definitely a Type A person, as I found myself being likely to experience,wittingly or unwittingly, nervousness or even panic after an exam, worrying about making mistakes. When it happened, stress came out and accounted for sleeplessness, which made me susceptible to migraine and other physiological illnesses.
Then i realize its severity and took up various approaches. I reckoned that such needless anxiety came down to my achievement-oriented character, leading to unusually intense physiological reaction, which was what I needed to minimize. So i have been striving to see the exams not so much as something horrible but as challenges, and exerting control to lower the degree of pressure manifested in this aspect. But to date i still tend to impose high psychological demands on myself and sometimes feel it not easy to move on. Maybe more measures are involved to deal with it.

if you ask me if type A personality influence our body's state, my answer is:
definitely yes.
well let me give you an example.
last year i took part in a OI
this is a compi about solving problems with computer programming.
every contestant was required to solve 10 pro in 5 hours
do you know what that means
it means you have to sit in front of computer toiling on and off on extremely hard math and unfriendly code for up to several hours without any break.
it was horrible. but do you know what made it worse?
we had a live ranking list presenting at that scene which kept you informed of your situation.
so just image that at one mement you find yourself fallen behind others, but you have no choice but to face it.
so you see the anxiety ,actually when the contest was over, i always had been exhausted.
now let's talk about the influence TYPE A will bring.
when we are involved in a competition, we have to be competitive, and it is not comfortable. but if a person view his real life as all sorts of competitions. i really doubt if he can survive the pressure and anxiety. he is certatly suspecious of illness. living in that environment i think will do no good to build up a healthy body.
