My name is Clayton. I m 19. I ve been starting to have heart issues. I m not exactly sure why. I just got our of high school. And sometimes my heart starts beating fast when I m asleep that it wakes me up. I am on the verge of stop smoking. I smoke may even 2 to 3 a day. I used to smoke 8 a day. I know that I have to stop. My grad parents have heart disease. And I m wondering if you could give me any advice on what to do. The pain is increasing and other don t have to do anything for it my heart to start beating fast thanks clayton

Hi welcome to HCM.
Smoking can contribute to deleterious effects on cardiovascular system.It can lead to increased heartbeat causing chest discomfort and palpitations.I advise you to have a chest x ray and ecg to document its effects on heart.Pulmonary function tests are needed to assess the lung function.I strongly recommend you to give up smoking under expert guidance since smoking can lead to irreversible loss of lung function.Consult your cardiologist for further help.
Thank you.
