Heart Racing Possibly Causing A-fib After Spinal Injection For Nerve Damage

I had a spinal injection for nerve damage to L4-L5 today.
My heart is racing & possibly causing A-Fib.
I had ablation surgery recently, and it is common for me to go in and out of A-Fib.
My pulse is currently 96, although it was 103 half an hour ago.
