Why Do I Feel Chest Tightness When Taking Long Hot Showers And Drinking Hot Tea?
Hello , I was wondering why my chest feels tight when I take long hot showers and i just got a sip of some hot green tea and my chest felt tight again. It s been on and off and happens less frequent as time passes felt it once this week. Could this be chest congestion? I smoked marijuana and ciggerattes for a couple years and i stopped about 3 months ago.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
It would be advisable for you to get a chest x ray done. If it is normal then get a PFT done which will tell us how much your lungs are functioning and what is the effect of smoking on them. Consult a pulmonologist for the same. STOP SMOKING before it causes more harm to you.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
