Usually, before surgery, you should have an appointment or conversation with the anesthesiologist to evaluate all the potential risks of having anesthesia.
Yes.

To answer this question you need to see you general practitioner to determine if you are safe for surgery or do you need to see cardiologist or another specialist.
Hope this helps.
