What Causes Anxiety To Return To Work After Abdominal Surgeries?
I have been on Short term leave for 3 months now after 2 abdominal surgeries in a three week period, colon resection and adhesions removed due to small bowel obstruction 1 week after 1st surgery.
I don't know why I am anxious about returning to work?

Hello,
Welcome tohealthcaremagic.com
Having post- surgery anxiety symptoms is due to physiological stress to which a person is subjected to during surgery. Also body needs time to adjust to this stress, which can vary from one person to other. In your case, your body might not have adapted to the stress, hence you are experiencing this anxiety. To reduce this anxiety, you need to relax yourself, do yoga, maintain your diet, avoid straining yourself too much.
Thank you
