Pre-Appointment Nerves: How to Cope?

Had an appointment meant for Dec get rescheduled to today and pre appointment nerves are high today. I am so burnt out with dr appointments, trying to figure out a proper treatment for my pots, and figure out what if anything else is going on. Feeling pretty defeated right now and I normal feel way more prepared for appointments. Anyone else feel this way and have a way you get through appointments with it?

I feel like I lose my cool the night before any appointment I have.. I feel you. Usually in the waiting room I'll do breathing exercises to slow my heart down and calm my nerves so I can focus on getting what I need to get done with the short time I have with the dr. I also write down any questions I have on a paper so i have a physical thing there to remind me what to ask!

thanks for responding! Thankfully this is a tellehealth appointment today. I’m normally prepared with questions and stuff but this just got rescheduled yesterday so I haven’t had much time to come up with anything. Doesn’t help that the brain fog is intense today too haha. I’m taking some time now to relax before it starts.
