Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion we should first rule out cardiac cause for your chest pain. Smokers with borderline to high cholesterol are at great risk for heart diseases. So get done 1. ECG2. 2d photo rule out cardiac cause. If both are negative then no need to worry about cardiac cause. You may have muscular pain only. So take painkiller and muscle relaxant.Don't start smoking, you will be alright, don't worry.
