Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should definitely rule out heart diseases for your symptoms because you have history of smoking.
So get done ecg, 2d echo, stress test and Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of Ecg).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause sudden symptoms.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't smoke again.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
