What Is The Cause Of Itching And Pain In The Chest After Quitting Smoking?

HI, I'm a 26 yrs old guy. I was smoking for past 4 years. At least 10 times a day in the last 2 years. recently I have then reduced smoking and currently I'm not smoking for the last 3 months. However, I have a itching sensation in the mid if the chest and its paining.

Is there a cure for this.

Hi,
Welcome To HCM
As per your description it seems you have GERD that can cause Itching(to be more precise Burning Sensation) and Chest pain in middle of the chest. Worth trying antacid if dat works. and Congrats for quiting smoking completely.
