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

1. Am I exhibiting any of the symptoms of stress?
   
   
2. Can relaxation exercises assist in treating heart conditions?
   
   
3. Are there any medical reasons not to try relaxation exercises?
   
   
4. Do you recommend any particular relaxation exercises?
   
   
5. How frequently should I perform relaxation exercises?
   
   
6. Should I still perform relaxation exercises if I already feel relaxed or at ease?
   
   
7. Would adding physical exercise or making other lifestyle changes help to reduce the amount of stress in my life?
   
   
8. Is it still safe to perform relaxation exercises if I am pregnant?
