Hello,

Tachycardia can occur due to the effect of anesthesia. You have not mentioned the type of surgery you have undergone. Generally, it is not necessary to continue with Eliquis and Diltiazem unless you are under a risk of developing clots or tachycardia which can happen after a heart surgery or hip surgery.

In any case you should discuss this with your physician before stopping any of the medicines.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
