Of course: The very fact that talk about it means you notice it. Most so called stress headaches are in fact migraines triggered by stress. All migraines do not have typical symptoms.

ADVICE: If this is really due to stress/worry, etc you may want to alter your take on exams, or alter your study habits so you have more confidence. If you can do that alone, wonderful; but you may want some help with the project rather than repeat the headaches each time. Psychotherapists can help with
stress.
