It depends: The high blood pressure and tachycardia(rapid heart rate)are common after surgery due to stress and not necessarily indicators or causes of a blood clot. However, some people do in fact develop a blood clot after surgery and a rapid heart rate might be a sign warranting further evaluation.

High HR day after surgery. Activity has been limited due to pain but no other symptoms other than HR in 120s resting. Cant feel it beating fast. Is this tachycardia likely due to extreme sleep deprivation and pain or blood clot?
