What happens later at home?

After learning a technique like relaxing the muscles, daily practice is helpful. That way the techniques will be ready when needed, such as in a stressful situation.

What are the potential complications after the procedure?

People with medical problems should still have standard medical care. Biofeedback cannot be used in place of a complete medical exam or any needed treatment. While biofeedback may reduce the use of certain medications, this decision needs to be made with a healthcare professional's advice and counsel.
