So, I'm getting my wisdom teeth out next Thursday. I went in for a consult and was extremely nervous because I know the procedure well (I'm a dental assistant) and my blood pressure was 150/110 I went home and it was 110/60 in which it is generally very consistent at. I'm worried about my blood pressure for the procedure. If it's too high the procedure can't be done, and I'm in pain so I need it done. I'm not even worried about the procedure itself, I'm worried about my blood pressure before hand. How can I reduce my blood pressure or calm myself down? I've been practicing relaxation yoga, breathing exercises, but I don't know if that will be enough? Help??
After they knock me out won't be the issue, they take my blood pressure beforehand.
Since I'm being put under, I'm not allowed to eat, drink or take anything prior to surgery, not even water.
