DVT: Dvt has no reason to cause arrhythmia unless associated with pulmonary embolus. Swelling described could have several causes.Worth getting checked.

Look for other cause: Dvt and arrhythmia are separate problem. It seems that your tiredness may be caused by other problems of your heart. You need to explore further in a comprehensive fashion with a competent primary care physician. Wish you the best!

Not usually: If DVT and pe then tachycardia and atrial arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation are common. Bland DVT is common, milk leg appearance, swollen, pale, without much tenderness can happen.
