The symptoms you mentioned are called "virilization," and the adrenogenital syndrome is one possible cause.  In this condition, the body's steroid metabolism is disrupted and too many androgens (male sex hormones) are produced.  An endocrinologist would be most qualified to work up this condition.

The sympathetic nervous system, when highly activated, causes stress-induced responses during times of danger.  So anything that aids skeletal muscle efficiency and motion will be stimulated.  So, blood flow will be directed towards skeletal muscle, nervous tissue, and brain, and away from everything else.  In addition to blood flow, all other systems will be inhibited (you dont want the intestines, stomach, kidneys, etc working hard while not getting enough blood flow).  So, the digestive systems and everything else will be inhibited.  If your sympathetic system is very highly stimulated, for an extended period of time, you will often get nauseous enough to vomit-because food will have been sitting in your stomach without being digested.  It may also cause diarrhea or constipation because of lack of digestive activity.\nGood luck in your classes.
