for patients
92% of patients would use HappyMed again
If you are facing a surgery or a lengthy cardiological examination and this causes you stress, you are in the same position as many other patients. Hospital stays, surgeries and other medical procedures tend to frighten us. We are afraid of what comes before and what comes after.
And we know that fear makes a poor companion. Unfortunately, fear also has a negative effect on our vital signs, for example breathing, blood pressure and pulse, and those are not good conditions to work with. If patients are suffering from fear and stress, additional medication may be used to provide reassurance.
However, more medication puts additional strain on our body and in the worst case can lead to unnecessary risks. It can also delay the time it takes to recover after the procedure (postoperative recovery phase).
