Hello and welcome in Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. According to the history better to do some tests to exclude lung problems as follows:Blood countCRPChest X Abdominal Ultrasound, AST,Bilirubinemia, HbsAgAfter having the results if they come positive than you should see a GP for the next step and the treatment if it will be needed. Until then, you can use some painkillers as paracetamol and to see if it works or not. In my opinion you have to stop smoking. Best regards. Chat Doctor.
