What can i do to feel less anxious about going to see my doctor?

Write questions: Prepare written medical and surgical history, write down your medications , allergies and questions. When you have all information, you will not worry that you will miss something. All preparation will help your physician to ask the right questions. Have a productive and helpful visit.

Stay active: Exercise is a great way to relieve stress. Your body releases endorphins during exercise, which can help you feel calm. If you exercise 30 - 60 minutes a day, your stress levels can improve. When stressed, take 5 slow, deep breaths with your eyes closed, then roll your shoulders forward 5 times, then back 5 times. This will slow your heart rate and release tension in your neck and shoulders.
