Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be suggestive of indigestion, which is quite common after gallbladder removal, caused by the irregularity of the bile secretion .

Anyway, before coming to this conclusion, I would recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and some tests:

- a resting ECG
- cardiac enzymes
- complete blood count
- liver and kidney function tests.

Hope you will find this information helpful!

I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!

Kind regards,
