Upset stomach/digestive problems before exam (anxiety and lack of sleep)?I sometimes cram before big tests, and that means very little sleep or none at all and a lot of anxiety on occasion, which I can deal with, but I get a lot of stomach problems on these nights.
I think it may be the anxiety, maybe in combination with lack of sleep that causes it. I always end up feeling ill, a little light headed, and spend a while studying in the bathroom before the exams.
It might be the late night run to 24 hour fast food too. I keep really hydrated, because drinking a lot of water keeps me awake.
I don't normally have problems like this so I'm not sure what I can do. Maybe just something from the shelf at the drug store?
Are there over the counter solutions; does anyone have any recommendations?

You kind of answered your own question in there. Anxiety and lack of sleep cause all kinds of physical reactions. It's common to have an upset stomach when nervous. If it's bothering you that much, you might want to ask a doctor, but it doesn't sound like anything abnormal.
