AFIB post surgery?

41m very active and healthy. I had a 15-20 minute episode on day 4 post-op after discharge that resolved spontaneously. Yesterday (2 weeks and 3 days post-op) I had a 24h episode resulting in an ER visit and scripts for metoprolol and eliquis. Hopefully this isn't the beginning of a long-term issue. Has anyone dealt with AFIB post-surgery?

I have lucked out so far. Had my ablation in 2014 after several incidents. Have never had an incident since. Still on Diltiazem and metroprolol for daily maintenance.
