i am having unrelated surgery next week and wanted to know if it is safe or will my block progress to total block under general anesthesia? Wanted to speak to others who had surgery with this condition

Hello

Thank you for your post, I would encourage you to contact your doctor performing the procedure to ask questions in advance. Anesthesia generally depends on the individual procedure being performed.

Kind regards

I honestly don't know. But what I can say us that I had a general anaesthetic a few years ago. 6 months later due to a problem with operation, I developed anxiety and pvc's. So had a holter monitor to check.The monitor showed up incidentally that I had 2nd degree heartblock type 1. I was in late 50"s and never knew. So I'm guessing it is safe as you would be monitored by anaesthetist.

So in other words I had a general anaesthetic without knowing I had heart block . Hope that helps a little.
