ICD Inserted, Taking Medications. Periodic Throbbing Pain In Neck, Chest With Heart Beat. Reason And Cure?

I just recently had an ICD put in, a little over a month ago, after having a SCA. I am 36 years old. I have been feeling fine. They put me on lisinipril and coreg. I ran out of my BP med earlier in the week. I started taking them again yesterday. Later yesterday I started having throbbing pains in my neck and chest , and even back of chest- with every heartbeat . The pains are periodic, and will suddenly come on, with a stabbing like pain. Should I contact my cardiologist? I have no signs of heart disease, or otherwise. They determined that I have no plaque build up either.
