I get red eyes, headache, and chest pain because of cigarette smoke. Please advice.

Question

Hello doctor,

Actually, I am afraid of the high sensitivity of my nose. My head hurts, my eyes become red, I have difficulty in breathing, and I have pain in the chest. All these problems I get because of only cigarette smoke. I get a problem if anyone smokes at a 16 to 33 feet distance. So, please give me good advice. I have had this problem for five years. I am 22 years old, and my height is 5.6 feet.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Do not neglect this condition. Smoking can lead to hazardous effects on the respiratory as well as the cardiac system like COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), emphysema, chronic bronchitis, ischemic heart disease, etc. So the following work-up has to be done:

Auscultation for respiratory sound and cardiac heartbeat.

Physical examination.
EKG (electrocardiography).
Chest X-ray.
CBC (complete blood count).
Spirometry, if needed.

According to the cause, specific management is advisable. Consult a nearby pulmonologist for examination and further management. You can follow back with reports for further discussion. Take care.
