Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should first rule out cardiac cause for your chest pain. Risk factors in your case are1. Smoking2. Blood pressure3. Old ages you are at high risk of cardiac disease. Better to get done ECG, 2D ECHO and TMT (Trade Mill Test) to rule out cardiac cause. If any doubt in above tester than go for coronary angiography. If everything is normal than you may have bronchitis.  As you are smoker, chances of bronchitis are there. So get done chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). Quit smoking and Chat Doctor.  Start regular exercise.
