Hi, I have gone through your question. Fast heart rate ( tachycardia), chest pain and feeling of lump in the throat can be an indication of heart disease.
Smoking predisposes to heart disease and dysfunction, and cardiac ischemia ( heart attack)
I would suggest you to consult a cardiologist urgently so that you can be properly examined, investigated and treated accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
