hi there
i would not be at all sure that you have just lung problem or a gastritis problem
your symptoms to me sound more like cardiac attack waiting to happen
you have all the risk factors and symptoms
-male gender
- smoker
-chest discomfort
- lightheadedness
i seriously think you need to get an ecg and dobutamine stress echo, and if need be a coronary angiography
best of luck
