Pulse rate can be high because you are short of breath which can at times put you in a panic/anxiety state. With panic or anxiety heart rate tends to increase. I see you are taking meds for thyroid hormone replacement and heart rate control but nothing for shortness of breath. Have you asked your doc to prescribe something for the shortness of breath (example: mini neb treatments not albuterol though because it can cause increase in heart rate, maybe xopenex mini neb or inhalers if not contraindicated.) Hope this helps. Take care.

Seek medical attention. There are post surgical problems like Pulmonary embolism which can cause problems like this.Heart rate increase due to low oxygen level.
