What Causes Heart Palpitations After Hip Operation?

I am about to have a hip operation and go under general anesthetic. I am currently suffering from palpitations. I am 176 cm tall weigh 82kg. I am 53. I keep myself fit and have a good medical history only visiting hospital before for a knee op. I am a light alcohol drinker and i dont smoke. I have seen a cardiologist and they have not managed to catch the palpitations on heart monitors. They seem to think i am ok. I am worried.

hello there

I fully understand your concern
Going for surgery is a nervous issue for many.. you are no exception. Anxiety sometimes mimics palpitation and comes disguised
Assure you that it is only nervous anxiety!!

All the best for your surgery
