What Causes Chest Pain While Suffering From Asthma?
I just quit smoking for good at 20 years old. Im not a heavy smoker just cigars here and there and hookah tobacco. I have minor asthma but I am scared to death of lung cancer after I have recently developed dull chest pains. Is that even possible for someone my age?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Usually Lung cancer is seen after the age of 40 years.
But smokers tend to develop lung cancerous at younger age (30-40 years).
In your case, possibility of lung cancer is very very less.
But better to get done chest x ray first.
If chest x ray is normal then no need to worry for lung cancer.
Better to quit smoking as soon as possible.
Take simple painkiller like paracetamol.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
