On Monday I have a presentation which is marked out of 50 overall. Content and the way the content is presented is all marked.
Everyone is really nervous and I suspect most people will be shaking/sweating their way through it. It's a never wracking experience and the highest marker will be kept on after the internship. I have got a prescription of propranolol which completely stops my shaking and other adrenaline related effects so while I will be nervous I won't look it and I will be able to concentrate more on the delivery of the presentation.
I asked anyone else if they took beta blockers and they all looked at me blankly so I presume they don't know about them.
I now feel a bit guilty about this. If I didn't have propranolol I wouldn't even be able to do the presentation I would be too nervous.
I'm very good at my job but can't do presentations or speeches. I hate them.
Am I cheating? AIBU to think it's not cheating to take this medication? I know it's an unfair advantage.

AIBU?
to think taking propranolol (adrenaline blocker) for a marked presentation isn't cheating
