Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, smoking can cause chest pain and palpitations in endocarditis patients. Cigarette smoke contains many Chemicals and harmful substance. These substances can precipitate endocarditis. And this worsening endocarditis can cause chest pain and palpitations. So better not to smoke. In fact you should quit smoking permanently for better improvement in endocarditis. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
