Hai.this type ofchest pain can mimic many things like acute gastritis, cough with bronchitis, cardiac related, lung related like pleuritic pain, oesophageal induced coronary spasms. Being a smoker u have all possibilities of these problems. Please go ahead with a chest xray, ecg, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, sugar levels, blood pressure check up.u can take a course of ppi's(proton pump inhibitors) like pantoprazole added with antacids as a course for 3 weeks. Take care good luck
