Hi,
You have nicotine use in the form of smoking. Smoking directly affects the lung and food pipe and stomach by irritating them.
This causes dryness, reflux, and acidity. Smoking can predispose to a heart attack at a young age too.
My suggestion is if your pain increases on walking up stairs then you need to consult Chest pain unit. If not, it is only because of the acidity.
The best treatment for it is to quit smoking and to take antacids temporarily. That will work magic on your lung, heart, and stomach.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
