heavyness in left side chest

Hello...

Myself 33 yr old male, unmarried. Used to smoke heavily for almost 11 years. Stopped smoking four days back. I am feeling heavyness in the left side of the chest. Sometimes burning sensation in the throat. Does this due to quitiing smoking or is it any heart related problem?...

Just a quick FYI- it can sometimes take awhile to see positive effects of these meds so do be patient.

Good Luck

TO have quit smoking is great for ur health, but it may have cause other issues...and acid reflux can be the result of smoking.

Please get under a drs care to help u with this transition.

The issues r not due to quiting, more from smoking itself and may have been masked by smoking.

Please see the Health Pages for tips on lifestyle changes and diet to aid in calming these symptoms.
