I had about 3-4 (maybe 5) cups of regular roast coffee...I ve been informed by a doctor that I need serious surgery on a leg following an injury in December and I have OCD ...I m feeling anxious, uptight, my heart is beating faster than usual and I can t seem to get calmed down...I worry I may have a caffeine overdose...what should I do?
Hello solsticeboyDue to proposed surgery anyone can become anxious and in OCD anxiousness increases. There are no chances of caffeine overdose. But to avoid anxiety try--Thought stopping technique immediately in mind say stop whenever obsessive thought comes in mind, this will help to decrease anxiety.-Relaxation techniques like Progressive Muscle Relaxation techniques will help-Deep breathing exercises also cause immediate relaxation and will help to relieve anxiety. So try these techniques and go for surgery, all the best. Take Care
