Have a surgical procedure coming up? It’s absolutely normal to feel anxious or stressed even if you anticipate the outcome to be completely positive. At Mark Medical Care, it is our goal to help relieve your stress and make you feel comfortable going into surgery.
Anxiety can have different effects on different people so it’s important to understand what it does to you. It is common for stress and anxiety to raise blood pressure and increase your heart rate. So, how you can reduce these symptoms? Ask questions. If you can find out all about the procedure and speak with people that have had the same surgery in the past, it can help ease your fears. You can also try to distract yourself by reading, listening to music or exercising.
At Mark Medical Care, we are firm believers in making our patients feel comfortable. We chose a relaxing environment for our office - through colors, smells and sounds we have seen a drop in the amount of anesthesia used. We also focus on relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and meditation to help clear the mind. If that’s not enough, we offer one-on-one meetings to discuss problems or issues going on in our patients’ lives.
