Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely see a doctor for your symptoms.
Since you are smoker, you are at higher risk of heart diseases.
And midnight sudden onset chest pain, arm Heaviness etc are classical symptoms of heart diseases.
So immediately consult doctor and get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
You may need cardiac drugs on the basis of reports.
And please quit smoking as soon as possible as it is very bad habit.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
