Brief Answer:
Heart / stomach problems to rule out as following

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am sorry for the situation you are in. I am also happy to know that you are getting better.

The pain you are feeling in the chest especially when drinking coffee and smoking might be due to possibly heart problems. If they did not check your heart at ER, I advise to consult with your doctor and ask to run following examinations :
- ECG
- stress test
- echocardiogram

If everything will be ok, then upper endoscopy is advised to rule out GERD / gastritis / ulcer.

For the moment, I advise to :
- avoid coffee, smoking and other foods that would trigger such pain
- have your meals regularly
- take OTC antacids after meals and ranitidine at bedtime

Hope it was of help!
