I am a nervous rack right now! I fear that me being nervous and not being able to calm down will spike up my bp during pre-op. Will this cause a surgeon to cancel my surgery? I am a very health 25 year old. I’m just super nervous.

Answer: Will me being super nervous cause surgeon to cancel my surgery? When I’m nervous my bp spikes up. Is there anything I can do? Hello. Great question. Your situation should not be a cause for your surgery to be cancelled. As long as your blood pressure at regular pace is normal. However, I will suggest discussing this with your surgeon prior to surgery. Every surgeon has their own pre op protocols.

Answer: Preoperative Anxiety It is not uncommon for otherwise healthy individuals to have an elevated blood pressure just prior to surgery. Typically an appropriate I.V. dose of medicine will control this type of transient hypertension and allow surgery to proceed uneventfully. If your blood pressure has otherwise been normal in the past this should not be an issue. Best of Luck Dr Harrell
