What Causes Chest Pain?

hi, I m 24 years old (just turned) and have had really bad chest pain for the past 2 months. I was really sick for about a month and a bit prior to and coughing heaps. thinking it could be a sprained rib or something but do they normally heal after a month or so? I am asthmatic and smoke on average about 15 cigarettes a day. feeling really tired lately too but I have since I had my baby a year ago. any ideas?

Hello
welcome to hcm
knowing that you are suffering from bronchial asthma and still you smoke 15 cigarettes a day is REALLY BAD...smoking is the biggest and most dreadfull to asthma and you are exaggerating your already declined lung functions by smoking...
first and foremost quit smoking as soon as possible if you want to live a healthy life...kindly get these tests done
(1) COMPLETE HEMOGRAM WITH ABSOLUTE BASOPHIL COUNT

(2) PFT i.e PULMONARY FUNCTION TESTS

(3) XRAY OF CHEST

(4) ECG

(5) ECHOCARDIOGRAHY

once you get these tests done send me a copy of your reports so that i can evaluate your case in details and prescribe you with appropriate treatment

take care
