What Causes Pulsating Pain Near The Chest After Gall Bladder Removal?

I had my gall bladder removed on June 24. Starting yesterday, July 17, I have had severe pulsating pain in the gall bladder area of my chest on the right side with pulsating pains that are extremely intense. They typically last for 6 seconds or less and it feels like something is trying to pump something in that area. I had two attacks yesterday and five today already with the frequency increasing. Is this something that I should be concerned about and visit a redi care or schedule a follow up appointment with my surgeon?
