Hello!
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!
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

- liver and kidney function tests.
Hope you will find this information helpful!
I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!
