What calming techniques actually work before open-heart surgery, and how can they help reduce fear, stress, and anxiety in the days or hours leading up to the procedure.
I also tried listening to calming music and doing a bit of guided relaxation, especially at night when my mind wouldn’t stop racing. Talking to my doctor and family helped a lot too.it made me feel less alone in it.Everyone finds comfort in different things, but for me, it was these small, familiar habits that made a big difference.
