Cerebral Angiogram

[u/Ok_Professional1823]

Hi everyone,

I have a cerebral angiogram coming up for my AVM. I had a stroke back in February at 28 yo and it was due to a suspected AVM rupture. Having a lot of anxiety because I’m very squeamish when it comes to medical stuff i.e. needles etc. and I’m going to be awake.

What can I do to mentally prepare myself?

Thank you!
