Wanted to pop in and vouch for the effectiveness of focusing on one's breathing during times of stress. I must admit I do not suffer from anxiety, but I have found that certain medical procedures are more physically painful if I do not distract myself by making sure I am breathing slowly and deeply. By relaxing myself in this way, I no longer pass out after a blood draw, I can endure a nasty EMG, and I do not feel claustrophobic while getting a brain MRI.

No cure, certainly, but a worthwhile form of distraction.
