At your age, the combination of smoking, chest sounds when breathing, and symptoms triggered by spicy food is most likely related to airway irritation, mild bronchitis, or acid reflux- all of which can create mucus sounds in the chest.
The numbness, high heart rate, and blurry vision you experience are typical features of anxiety or panic, especially when you start worrying about your breathing.
So you likely have both:
- a mild lung/airway issue from smoking
- anxiety symptoms making your body feel worse
Next Steps
1. Consult a chest physician (pulmonologist) for a basic check-up → chest exam, spirometry.
2. If lungs are fine, then the rest is mainly anxiety, which can be treated easily.
3. Reduce or stop smoking- it is the biggest contributor to mucus, chest sounds, and breath discomfort.
4. Avoid spicy food for a few weeks (it can trigger reflux + chest tightness).
5. If anxiety stays high, Reach out for an online or in-person consultation:

- Get checked once, but don’t panic — serious heart/lung disease at 22 is very unlikely.
