What Causes Chest Discomfort And Restlessness In A Smoker?

Dear @
i been having charas with very limited number of breaks for last six years but yesterday morning i played soccer after a long time and naturally i was tired and the back of my chest was paining this i am sure was because of the smoking habit i had, however then in the evening i smoked up a joint of charas and after some time i started feeling so restless i had gas troubles after that, disturbance in the chest, fatigue and was not able to sleep because i kept thinking that i was gonna have a cardiac arrest.
however i survived the night though and morning i wake up i still had that uneasyness then i slept again.
I have decided to quit any kind of smoking and intoxicating
could you please tell me what is the probably the problem i am facing is there a remedy other than quiting smoking or should i go get an ecg and an x-ray done

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your all symptoms are due to smoking habit only.
So please quit smoking as soon as possible.
Other possibilities for your symptoms are bronchitis and heart diseases.
So it is better to consult doctor and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x ray, PFT, ecg and 2d echo.
Chest x ray and PFT are needed for bronchitis and other pulmonary diseases.
Ecg and 2d echo are needed for heart diseases.
You should also consult psychotherapist for deaddiction.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
