[|Human|] I am 52 yrs old smoke about 1 pack of cigs every 2 weeks and when I lie down on my back I have a sharp pain in my chest that goes straight through my back on the left side and middle of my chest usually if I move positions it will stop Should I be concerned?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, you should definitely be concern for these symptoms. After the age of 50 years, risk of heart diseases is more. It will be doubled when person is an active smoker. So in my opinion, you should definitely consult cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). It is better to 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.
