Pulmonary Fibrosis Patient Breathing harder after gallbladder surgery

[cm1951]

I have pulmonary fibrosis which makes it hard to move around. I had to have my gallbladder removed 5 days ago.  In recovery I woke up with an oxygen mask over my nose and mouth, I could breath out but not in - I began to panic but once they sat me up a bit and took mask off I passed out again.  But ever since the surgery I've noticed I have even harder time walking any distance and once I stop moving it takes me a few seconds to get my breathing in control.  Did surgery damage my lungs even more or could I now have, after so many days, chest infection?  I have a tightness feeling in upper chest area but no real pain other than where they went in 5 holes.  They are just tender.  Should I call my doctor about this breathing difficulty or give it more time.
