Asked By:lalaorange5 in Phoenix, AZ

I often have random panic attacks and some days I just have anxious thoughts and feelings and trouble breathing or fast heartbeat. is it safe for someone with these to go under general anesthesia? My surgery is in 3 weeks and I went this morning to have an EKG and medical clearance just for peace of mind. the doctor did confirm I'm in perfect health. I have also had general for a surgery I had as a child. the doctor said if I've had it before then I have nothing to worry about. is this true?
