Has anyone had an increase in heart palpitations/racing after surgery?

Over the past two years I've had heart palpitations that my cardiologist says is just my heart racing for no reason. Ever since my surgery (open long-limb RNY 10/31/02) my heart has been thumping around in there much more often. Has anyone else ever had this happen? Could it be because of the minimal calories I'm eating? I'm also diabetic and my numbers have been in better control than ever before so I also wonder if it could be because my sugar is lower. I've often felt better physically when the blood sugar was higher than normal so maybe that's it. Anyway, if you have any ideas I'd love to hear them. I've had two heart stress tests in the past two years (one right before surgery) and I was told they were perfect.
