Hi;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
Since you are 31yrs better get a ECG done to rule out cardiac cause of chest pain .It is not likely but to be on safer side.Secondly you smoke 8-10 cigarettes/day which can cause discomfort in chest & stomach due to hyperacidity.Please reduce or if possible stop smoking.Do a ECG to rule out cardiac cause;if it is abnormal consult a Cardiologist.Lastly you take a tablet of Ranitidine-300mg twice a day & see it should give you relief.If the pain persists please consult a doctor.
Thanks
