Hello
Welcom here.
I can understand your concerns.
You have had a major surgery in past and are always worried about your health.
This is causing insomnia.
I would like to tell you that you should try and relax.
If the anxiety is intolerable, tablet rivotril (prescription drug) 0.5 mg would be helpful. This tablet can be taken in night. It acts for 12-20hours and can help in insomnia and anxiety.
Also, relaxation exercise like deep breathing and meditation will keep your mind at peace.
Hope this helps.
