Medical work exemption for stress management?

General/Advice

Has anyone been able to successfully have a work exemption through your doctor/HR to avoid high stress work as it can make PCOS symptoms worse?

I work in a toxic work environment where they over work us and they are trying to make me do a certain work assignment for the next 5 months that I moved AWAY FROM a few years ago. I set an appointment with my primary doctor to try and see if there are any ways I can get an exemption due to medical reasons such as high blood pressure/hormonal fluctuations from PCOS.

Was just curious if anyone has had success with this.

I am a hard worker, and I do a lot for my company, but I have to draw the line somewhere because it’s getting ridiculous and I can’t keep doing this to myself.
