Your pain is likely to be muscular in origin. However given the history of smoking, it is better to rule out any cardiac or respiratory problems. Smoking is associated with significantly serious health problems like lung cancer, oral cancer, impotence, etc. It also causes breathlessness and difficulty in breathing, and reduction in stamina. The best thing is to quit smoking immediately to promote good health. Consult a psychiatrist for the same. Get an ECG done, and a chest X ray. You may consult me if required.
