Q: Tachycardia (fast heart-beat) after lung surgery?

I had a lower left lobectomy and now im experiencing problems with atrial tachycardia.. i suffered from Cystic Adenamatoid malformation with sequestration, which is why i had to have lung surgery.. My heart randomly gets up to around 180-200 beats in a minute, i feel like im going to pass out, and i have NO ENERGY.. ive gone through two unsucessful ablations, and failed A LOT of heart meds..I'm now told i have AV Node non reentry tachycardia.. What im wondering is this common after lung surgery, and has anyone else had this problem, and also what they did for the fast heartbeat..?
Thanks
