Should I Be Worried As I Am Feeling Air In My Chest After Smoking Hookah?

Hi Doctor,

I smoked hookah last night outside of my house with friends. I got home and went to sleep. When I woke up I felt like I had air in my chest. After breathing in and out a few times it kind of went away but now when I move my head or walk, it hurts. Is something bad happening?

Take rest and do deep breathing exercises.It will be fine soon.
Tobacco sometimes when inhaled forcibly causes such discomfort but it will go within days.
