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
Hope that helps
