Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely worry about these symptoms.
All your chest symptoms are suggestive of smoking related lung damage.
So if you continue smoking, these symptoms will be worse and you land up in either bronchitis or pneumonia or lung cancer.
So better to quit smoking as soon as possible because it is very bad habit.
You can enroll in deaddiction center also.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
