Need "smokescreen": You need to see a MD and have your lungs and heart evaluated as you are a smoker and this "screening" is necessary to rule in or out a cause for your pain. By the way, you are only 29 years old and with your smoking you may have a short "lifetime" of heart and lung issues if you don't quit smoking now.
