After heart surgery I would suggest you contact the prescriber.This is not something to be messed about with.

Ok thank you I'm waiting for heart nurse to get back to me I am worried as he is still asleep

How long ago? It takes a long time to recover from heart surgery. Was it to treat AF? Those can be side effects of the drugs but if you have any doubts I would contact your cardiologist or doctor to check. I hope he picks up soon.
