How do i deal with anxiety about a procedure and sedation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Relaxation training: Anxiety is a subjective state of unpleasure coupled with the idea of anticipated loss. Your bodily reactions (breathing, h.R.) and worries should be addressed. Take control of your body by deep, slow breathing. Explore your worries with professionals and friends. Once you learn relaxation techniques (see book full catastrophe living by kabat-zinn), imagine the procedure while relaxed 30x.
