I've been smoking for the last 5 years, and lately, Im noticing this weird pain in the center of my chest. It doesn't bother me when I'm just sitting or standing still, but if I stretch my arms or put any pressure on my chest, I get this sharp pinching feeling inside. Even just warming up before a workout or sleeping in one position can trigger it. There's no fatigue, coughing up blood, or anxiety. Do you think it's something serious, or should I just not worry about it too much?

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing chest pain, and sometimes it's hard to breathe deeply. At night, my heartbeat seems to race, and in the morning, I'm dealing with a lot of cough. Could this be because of smoking, or is there something else going on that I should be concerned about?
