I tend to joke alot while I examine patients..
Is that OK in CS exam!
I've got two opinions;
One said never joke and be as polite and professional as you can
Another said, it's OK to joke if the patient is not in distress and they will love it.

What do you think!

In my exam I joked with couple of them and I scored high in my rapport report.
So go ahead and do it.
Though, as you said sometimes it's not appropriate if the patient is having chest pain or acute severe asthma :p
