Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of severe chest pain, I would come up with two possibilities, these include:

1. Peptic ulcer disease is the first possible cause but you need to take antacids to get relief from that and you will feel fine soon if it is PUD.
2. Second one is the cardiac cause which is myocardial infarction in which you will have similar symptoms but to know exactly you need to take an ECG, Cardiac enzymes test done As it is an emergency you need to consult your doctor as soon as possible. You are having risk factors like smoking so ruling out this cause is most important.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.

Regards,
Dr.Alekhya.
