  5. I've been smoking for about three years now and every time I light up, I start feeling this weird pain on the right side of my chest, near where my thymus is. It seems to go away after like 15 minutes, especially if I press on it, then I usually burp a few times and the pain just disappears. I'm a bit concerned, is this something I should be worried about?
