No you shouldn't have lied, if there's something going on with your ticker then it would be unfair on the theatre staff to have not told them and then had an episode during op.

Would maybe have been better to have told your GP before so your tests could have been carried out and sorted before you got to preoperative stage, what tests have you had so far

Bit of steam. it gets me that way sometimes
