Hello, Thanks for posting your query on Healthcare Magic...
* Brief Answer: chest infection can cause chest pain and tenderness, nothing serious.
*Explanation: My opinion is that chest pain has quite a differential diagnosis. first of all we should exclude serious causes such as cardiac conditions. One of the most common causes of chest pain and tenderness is musculoskeletal pain accompanying chest infestion and chronic cough. as you are a chronic smoker that is a high probability.
I suggest my patients the following : chest examination , chest x ray would be helpful , colorful sputum is an indicator of chest infection.
The information provided by you is not sufficient to provide a good opinion.
If someone comes to me with this condition I would ask them about other risk factors and comorbidities like diabetes , etc.
*Conclusion: I suggest you check up with your general physician.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to help, If not, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health.
