Brief Answer:
ECG required

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

Symptoms you have mentioned are not related to removal of ovary. These symptoms indicate some problem with heart such as heart failure.

This is more possibility because you are hypertensive which might lead to cardiac effects secondarily.

I suggest you see a physician with appointment so that an ECG can be done to check cardiac effects.

Let me know if you need any more clarification.

Regards
