Hspitalzd for afib hours after wisdom tooth removal. no prior heart issue history and only 25. possible nitrous oxide used during surgery contributed?

Congenital: The cause of your arrhythmia is most likely a structural abnormality that you were born with. I could not find any links between nitrous oxide and atrial fibrillation in a quick literature search. Although the physiologic stress of sedation and the procedure could have tip you over the edge to trigger the atrial fibrillation.
