What Causes Pounding Heart Beat After Knee Arthroscopic Surgery?
Hi Dr. moser, Wondering if you have any insight into this.... I had my first surgery today, knee arthroscopic for a torn meniscus. I seem to be having a pounding heartbeat while resting tonight. Is it frothe anesthesia or pain meds? Thanks for your time. Carrie

Hi,
The pounding of heart beat could be because of surgery or anesthesia or even due to excitement. Relax and let a physician examine you & investigate the cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
