Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi there ~

Mild anxiolytics till the surgery like 0.25 mg of clonazepam may be helpful. Please make sure you consult with a psychiatrist as well as your cardiolgoist before using the medication. It should be taken both during the day and at night. I hope you bring this up with your cardiologist.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
