What Is The Treatment For Dull Chest Pain After Atrial Septal Repair?

In March, I had an atrial septal repair. I've had 3 checkups since, and the doctors have said everything was healing properly, and last month, my surgeon said everything was completely healed. Starting two weeks ago, I've had a dull, achy pain in my chest. It goes in and out (I feel it more when I am resting). Should I get this checked out soon, or can it wait til the end of the week?
