Why does my chest hurt when I smoke?

We often see advertisements saying that smoking is harmful to health, but there are still many people who smoke as usual. Some smokers feel chest pain whenever they smoke. Some people suffer from chest strain. In addition, stomach problems also affect chest pain caused by smoking. But no matter what it is, as long as it makes you feel uncomfortable, there is a problem that needs to be solved. The following is an explanation of the causes of chest pain from smoking. I hope it will help everyone solve the problem.

1. First: chest muscle strain. This is usually caused by excessive labor or lifting excessive weights. The chest pain caused by this situation is not a big problem. You just need to rest and be careful not to lift excessive weights.

2. Second: It is caused by psychological suggestion. Many patients, after learning that they have a certain disease, always feel uncomfortable here and there, and always feel that they have symptoms of these diseases. This can be said to be a psychological suggestion or a mental illness.

3. Third: caused by gastrointestinal diseases. If you experience chest, abdominal, or heart pain, you should first undergo a gastroscopy to check if you have stomach problems. Stomach pain caused by peptic ulcers, reflux gastritis, and gastric spasm can sometimes radiate to the chest and abdomen, causing chest pain symptoms.

Note:

It is more common in costal neuralgia, heart disease, lung disease and liver disease. Speaking of liver disease, it involves hepatitis B. As we all know, hepatitis B patients often suffer from liver damage. Liver damage can cause lesions in the liver and surrounding organs, which will involve the liver capsule. There are nerves on the liver capsule, which may spread to the chest and cause chest pain, mostly concentrated on the right side of the human body.

The dangers of smoking chest pain

Main hazards: Smoking has a certain social nature and has certain social functions in social interactions, but at the same time it may induce a variety of diseases and pose a great threat to individual health. It is precisely because of this that quitting smoking is becoming more and more popular. For example, there are many people who use the k-smoker method to quit smoking. According to a survey by the World Health Organization, among one quarter of cancer patients in industrially developed countries, 90% are smokers; 75% of those who die from bronchitis are smokers; and 25% of those who die from myocardial infarction are smokers. Smoking not only brings harm to the individual, but also to the children. Scholars conducted a survey and analysis on 5,200 pregnant women and found that the amount of smoking their husbands smoked every day was directly proportional to the prenatal mortality rate and the birth rate of congenital malformations. For children whose fathers do not smoke, the rate of congenital malformations is 0.8%; for fathers who smoke 1 to 10 cigarettes a day, the rate is 1.4%; and for fathers who smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day, the rate is 2.1%. The amount of smoking that a pregnant woman does also directly affects the mortality rate of her baby before and after birth. For example, for those who smoke less than a pack a day, the infant mortality risk is 20%; for those who smoke more than a pack a day, the infant mortality risk is more than 35%. At the same time, smoking, as an addictive behavior, also has certain mental health problems.

Men: Nicotine in tobacco can inhibit the secretion of sex hormones and kill sperm. At the same time, tobacco toxins can hinder the combination of sperm and eggs, greatly reducing women's chances of pregnancy. The latest research finds that smoking can also cause impotence.

Women: Tobacco is more likely to affect physiology, causing symptoms such as menstrual disorders, miscarriage, and early menopause, and making postmenopausal osteoporosis symptoms more severe.

It is a well-known fact that smoking is harmful to health. A study conducted by a foreign psychological research institute showed that the intellectual efficiency of smokers is 10.6% lower than that of non-smokers. Different cigarettes release different chemicals when they are lit, but the main ones are chemicals such as tar and carbon monoxide. The substances harmful to the human body produced after a cigarette is lit can be roughly divided into six categories: (1) aldehydes, nitrides, and olefins, which are irritants to the respiratory tract. (2) Nicotine, which can stimulate the sympathetic nerves and make smokers dependent. (3) Amines, cyanides and heavy metals, all of which are toxic substances. (4) Benzopyrene, arsenic, cadmium, methylhydrazine, aminophenol and other radioactive substances. All these substances are carcinogenic. (5) Phenolic compounds and formaldehyde, etc. These substances have the effect of accelerating carcinogenesis. (6) Carbon monoxide can reduce the ability of red blood cells to transport oxygen throughout the body.
