Hi
Thanks for posting your query.
Your symptoms are suggestive of a condition called Plerisy. It is inflammation of covering of lung. It is not a major condition but occurs due to irritation of lungs.
In your case the cause is due to your Smoking habit. You can take combiflam tablet after prescription from your doctor and you will get good relief .
But important is you should quit smoking else this pain would recover.
Hope you find this information useful.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
