Post Op lung surgery

Question

Asked for Male, 57 Years

I had lung surgery Monday. I was doing well. I woke up Friday morning and I was a little bit swollen. Now 16 hours later, I have swelling on my right side, chest, peck, arm pit. Starting to go into my neck and cheek. Is this normal? Or should I be heading to the emergency room?
