Hi,

I think you're having a paroxysmal arrhythmia. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. You may need 24 hours blood pressure, ECG and saturation monitoring needed.

So at the time of op you may won't have a problem. As it is a powerful depressant of atrioventricular nodal conduction it reduces the ventricular rate in atrial flutter and fibrillation with reversion to sinus rhythm.

To prevent this your doctor may advise it. Please follow with your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
