Looking for techniques to intergrate/deal with health anxiety- medical procedures

4 posts in this topic

Details Below the questions
My questions: What techniques/practices can I do to overcome these fears in the long term (medical procedures/death) 

Any advice on how to deal with the situation/avoid spiraling in the short term?

 I will likely in the very near future need to have my wisdom teeth removed, the last time I had gotten fillings I had a near fainting episode with cold sweats/shaking/dizzy after my mouth went numb (the drilling itself didn’t bother me at all) and I recalled reading on the waiver it could be permanent and freaking out. I get terrified by pretty much any situation with needles. I’m stuck between not wanting the sedation as I’m worried about the change in my state making me freak out, but also freaking out without it. Essentially I am very sensitive to changes in my state and have a very strong fear of death.

To a degree, it was pretty great only after I got over my initial wave of panic when I took mushrooms.
