I recently quit smoking after experiencing persistent chest pain that lasted for a month, though it eventually disappeared after some rest. Now, I'm feeling these sudden sharp pains in my chest that vanish as quickly as they come. I work more than 10 hours a day while sitting. Should I be concerned about these new pains?
