What Do Pain And Burning Sensation In The Chest Indicate?

I m a 52 yr old smoker, I smoke 2 + packs per day, I have high blood pressure that I take meds for. I have an injured back & neck from car wreck in 2007. I had lower back surgery in 2010. I also take generic Tylenol 4 and take about 200 pain pills per month. I have a mild smokers cough. Over the past month I ve noticed that I have constant pain over the left side of my chest along with a burning sensation in the same area. Should I see a lung specialist and cardiologist ASAP?
