Why does my chest hurt when I smoke?

Smoking is a habit of many male friends. We all know that smoking can cause damage to our lungs. But do you know that sometimes, if we smoke, we will experience chest pain. Does smoking also affect our heart? In fact, in this case, although it cannot be said to be a heart problem, smoking can also stimulate other diseases and cause chest pain.

Pain in the center of the chest is a common symptom. It may be caused by excessive force when touching the chest, or it may be caused by certain diseases. When these symptoms occur, many people will worry and be afraid and want to understand what is going on. Generally speaking, there are three main reasons that can cause pain in the center of the chest. Let’s take a look.

1. First: chest muscle strain. This is usually caused by excessive labor or lifting excessive weights. The chest pain caused by this situation is not a big problem. You just need to rest and be careful not to lift excessive weights.

2. Second: It is caused by psychological suggestion. Many patients, after learning that they have a certain disease, always feel uncomfortable here and there, and always feel that they have symptoms of these diseases. This can be said to be a psychological suggestion or a mental illness.

3. Third: caused by gastrointestinal diseases. If you experience chest, abdominal, or heart pain, you should first undergo a gastroscopy to check if you have stomach problems. Stomach pain caused by peptic ulcers, reflux gastritis, and gastric spasm can sometimes radiate to the chest and abdomen, causing chest pain symptoms.

Note:

It is more common in costal neuralgia, heart disease, lung disease and liver disease. Speaking of liver disease, it involves hepatitis B. As we all know, hepatitis B patients often suffer from liver damage. Liver damage can cause lesions in the liver and surrounding organs, which will involve the liver capsule. There are nerves on the liver capsule, which may spread to the chest and cause chest pain, mostly concentrated on the right side of the human body.
