Hi John,
It's worth discussing with your physician and being evaluated to determine the cause and if treatment is warranted.

It's hard to say if it's your heart or not. Of course, it is possible and you're not doing your heart any favors with the cigarettes (as I'm sure you already know). The pain could due to a variety of different factors. Best to work with your physician to determine the cause.
