Don't be panic first but good you got the sense of how bad the smoking could be. You need to undergo preventive health check up for heart. Which specifically involve fasting lipid profile and stress echo. The symptoms you told are more looks psychological but still get  evaluated for heart
Next Steps
consult a cardiologist
Health Tips
quit smoking, daily 30 min brisk walk or moderate grade exercise
