Dear Patient, welcome to HCM.
Nicotine in smoke has the potential to constrict your blood vessels and reduce blood supply to your heart. Chances of this increases if you are a very heavy smoker. you should get an ECG done to find out if there is any abnormality with your heart. I would strongly recommend you to cut down smoking, if u can quit it, before it causes any major damage.
Take Care.
