What Could Chest Tightness With Mucous Cough Suggest?

I am a 38 yo female having symptoms of left chest pain that extends into my collar bone and neck. I am a smoker and lately I have noticed a little bit of tightness in the chest with a small rattle in my lungs that when I cough up mucous the rasp usually disappears. I am 5'2 and I weigh 130 lbs and otherwise healthy except for low thyroid.

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM .
Read and reviewed your query and health concerns.
My opinion-
IN the given situation, You seems to be having-CAD(Coronary Artery Disease) with Smoker's Cough with Bronchitis.Low thyroid could be causing high lipids with accompanied Coronary predisposition to Chest Pain.
The left chest pain radiating to collar bone,is a bad indication of- accompanied Coronary blockage with impending Heart attack causing Myocardial infarct.
To avoid this- You need to Consult Cardiologist- and get investigated for lipid profile and stress test/ Thallium Nuclear Scan may be needed in your case.
X-ray Chest would fix the Bronchitis with smokers lungs.
Rule out other causes of bronchitis with AFB and IGRA Blood test for to rul e out-hidden TB lungs.
