Hospital - anxious

[CantonaKing]

Hi,
I am due to have a septoplasty (nose op) on Wednesday.
For the last few days, my chest has felt really tight and I keeping getting scared that I can't catch my breath.
I suffer from anxiety and asthma as it is, but when I went for my pre-op on Friday, the nurse did a peak flow and said my asthma is fine.
No wheezing, etc.
Could it just be the anxiety which is causing my chest to feel tight?
Thanks.

Yeah, anxiety will do that and you are going to have heightened anxiety due to the op; it's only natural.

But my brother-in-law, who is an ear, nose and throat surgeon, said if I'm overly-anxious, they may not do the op?

OK. He'll know better than I.
