Call your doctor. It may be normal, it may not but you need medical advice.

It doesn't sound normal to me, I'd contact your doctor.

you need to get checked out, it could be a sign of a pulmonary emobolus which is a possible complication following the surgery.

Uh NOT NORMAL. Please consult a doctor. A forum is not the place to ask for medical advice like this.
