I'm a 27-year-old male nurse working in the surgery OT and I've been smoking cigarettes for the last 8 years. For the past 4 months, I've had granular pharyngitis and even after taking all the prescribed meds, it hasn't gone away. Now for the last month, I've been experiencing chest tightness could this be related to my throat issue or the smoking? What should I do next?
