[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, you should definitely consult doctor. Sudden onset chest pain in smoker can be due to pneumothorax. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and chest x-ray. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry about pneumothorax. Sometimes muscle spasm can also cause similar kind of pain. So avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Sit with proper beck support. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out pneumothorax. And please quit smoking as soon as possible. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
