Hi Diegovision00,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Your symptoms of vigorous loss of weight,chest pain &shortness of breath off &on , burning body(mostly due to fever) and history of smoking, suggest some serious lung pathology. It needs immediate attention . You should not neglect. You must be very much concerned about it and consult your doctor.
Please consult a chest specialist and have through check up with investigation like CT scan as per expert advise. Do not wait for appointment. you can get urgent care and attention in ER.
Early detection and care would help you out of the problem.
I hope that helps you. Any follow up query is welcome.
