Heart palpitations -- is it safe to have surgery?

Mumto3kidsFeb 19, 2017
I have been having palpitations all week due to hormones. I am due to have surgery in 2 weeks (breast augmentation) I have informed my ps of this I have been to my gp who checked me out in regards to blood pressure and heart rate. All was ok. Tomorrow I will have ecg and bloods. Do u think it will be safe to have surgery if these come Back ok? I also had 24 hour heart monitor last year which came back perfect. I just suffer palpitations every now and again. Thanks
