Hey everyone, ive had some problems recently with smoking. I felt very depressed for a while so I started to smoke cigarettes. One night, not long ago, I smoked two Marlboro Menthol 100's back to back within 10 mins and the next day, (and ever since) ive had the worst chest pains, and I find it very hard to breath at night. I wake up with horrible pain in my chest, and my breaths are very short. If I try to breath in deep, that also hurts. If anyone knew anything about this or what i could do to get rid of it, I would very much appreciate some advice! Thanks!

Sincerely,

Jake

I don't think you are smoking enough, try smoking 4 packs a day and see if that helps.

I don't think two sticks of cigarettes are enough to induce moderate to severe chest pain. There might be an underlying cause. See your doctor.

Other posters are absolutely correct in that no one on this site is able to give any medical advice.
