Brief Answer:
Tight chest
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking.
Iinitially I want to remind some of the side effects of tabacco use
1-Central Nervous System
2-Respiratory System
When you inhale smoke, you’re taking in substances that can damage your lungs. Over time, your lungs lose their ability to filter harmful chemicals. Coughing can’t clear out the toxins sufficiently, so these toxins get trapped in the lungs. Smokers have a higher risk of respiratory infections, colds, and flu.
3-Cardiovascular System
4-Digestive System
Smokers are at great risk of developing oral problems. Tobacco use can cause gum inflammation (gingivitis) or infection (periodontitis). These problems can lead to tooth decay, tooth loss, and bad breath.
5-Sexuality and Reproductive System
Regarding your signs I would suggest
1-Othorino-laringologist medical visits
2-Radiography of thorax (ct scaner if is needed)
3-Spirometry
4-Medical visit with pneumologist
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
