Questions for your doctor

Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions related to anger:

  1. How can I tell if I get too angry too often?

  2. Could anger affect my blood pressure?

  3. What type of cardiovascular symptoms could frequent bouts of anger result in?

  4. Where can I find help with better controlling my anger?

  5. Are there any medications available that might make it easier for me to control my anger?

  6. Are there any therapies or techniques I can use to better control my anger?

  7. Could anger aggravate any of my existing conditions?

  8. Could my anger affect the health of those around me in any way?

  9. Could anger interfere with my pregnancy in any way? Could it affect my unborn child?
