Are you able to sleep it off?

What time of pain exactly are you having? And are you in contact with your doctor?

We learned breathing techniques in a voice acting class I took and I use deep breathing to manage my pain and anxiety a lot now. Do slow deep breaths in until you completely fill up your belly and then just let it all come out naturally in one push. Just keep doing that and actively try to relax your body.

I had emergency gallbladder surgery in September and my anxiety got pretty bad during my hospital stay. I saw my regular doctor a week later and he prescribed propranolol. It has helped me a great deal. As for the pain it was at least a week before I felt any better I couldn't sleep either because of the pain. I just rode it out. I hope you feel better soon.

Honestly you might need to up your pain meds. Some people don't handle pain very well at all and need a stronger dose because that anxiety will absolutely exacerbate everything. Have you spoken to your surgeon about what you're experiencing?
