High Heart rate after Laparoscopy

I had a laparoscopy done last week to get rid of my appendicitis. It was early stage appendicitis. The next day after surgery I was feeling expected pain where the incisions were. I took Norco painkiller. After a couple of days I noticed high heart rate when lying down, couple of times it grew so uncomfortable that I had to walk around a bit to feel comfortable.

This has been now going on for almost 5 days and I feel almost perfect during the day, but when laying down at night and sometimes even getting up in the morning, it is disturbing. High heart rate, thumping heart beat is the symptom. Please suggest if this is not normal. I just hope I dont have to go for heart surgery now. I am only 29.

I dont have any fever. I went to ER yesterday and ECG/CT Scan/blood tests appeared normal.

Could my hypothyroid have anything to do with this?
