Fast heart rate and surgery?

February 19, 2016
Asked By:Christinaa D in Miami, FL

Should I be concerned about my heart rate during surgery? Resting, my heart is normal. However, during exercises or cardio training, my heart rate sky rockets (high 160-170s). Never had surgery before, so I don't know what to expect. My pcp' said I'll be fine. Thank you!
