Could Sharp Pain In Chest In A Smoker Indicate Pulled Muscle?

im only 26 and only have been smoking for about a year and on average 5 cigs a day. So idk if that has anything to do with it or not but my heart has been hurting for the past month. Started with a sharp sting that lasts for seconds as if it s a gas pain. Which I ve had I. The past on rare occasions. But this past month, my heart on and off feels like a pulled muscle. Feel it when I breath in or change positions with my arm here and there. Some days it s not noticeable but most days I feel it. I m able to do heavy activities with out a problem and breath fine. I m just hoping it s not a bad valve. Any idea what this could be?
