hi
as yo are 62 years of age i appreciate your habit of morning walk but you had history of smoking pain may be due to cardiac origin. it may be angina. i suggest you go for a ECG.
if ecg is normal
than pain may be due to gastritis or muscular pain these are not of a big concern as compare to cardiac.
hoping this will help you

Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I am glad to declare that your infrequent pin pricking pain doesn't seem to be heart related (facing its prescribed nature, and your excellent overall physical performance, no associated suggesting symptomatology).
I would advise to perform a routine medical check up (a physical exam, resting ECG, chest X ray study, complete blood count, PCR, etc) to differentiate the origin of your pain.
Mean while, you could try any painkiller drugs, if the complains become disturbing.
You have to consult with your doctor about these issues.
Hope to have been helpful! Greetings! Dr. Iliri
