I have gone through your query and understand your concern.These symptoms can be due to anxiety and worries. These seems to me not to be directly related to surgery. Vitamin B and C is helpful in recovery.You can take Anxiolytic such as alprazolam after consulting your Doctor.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.
