I'm experiencing pain at the middle of my chest while breathing heavily or coughing or when I touch the area, it feels like the middle bone of my chest is hurting. What should I do? I smoke cigarettes but on an average 1 cigarette in a day some times 1 cigarette in 2-3 days. I'm experiencing the pain since 1 or 1 and half months. Thank you.
