Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Fever / infection may be responsible.
It is not likely to be related to the surgery...
Have ECG, blood count and sugar done
Reducing the dose of Metoprolol to half the present dose for short time may help
Discuss with your doctor / get examined...

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
