I am a 23 year old male. I have been experiencing a pinching pain on the right side of my adam's apple. The pain does not seem to be coming from the throat, and I have no difficulty in swallowing. In addition to this, I have also been experiencing pain inside my lower rib cage towards the right side (the area between end of the arm and body) when I twist and turn. Also, there is a slight pinching pain in the right ear. Could these three conditions be related? I am a smoker, I smoke 3-4 cigarettes a day. Also I feel my right eye drooping a little in my pictures.

Dear user. I can understand. Tobacco is addictive. Cigarette also contains 4000+ carcinogenic chemicals other than nicotine. Smoking can affect your mouth, throat, lungs, heart, stomach and brain in many ways. Cancer is one among the potential diseases smoking can cause. The best method is to leave it and continue with your will power. There are other methods like Nicotine Replacement therapy and pharmacotherapy combined. Nicotine chewing gums too help as an alternative for cigarettes. But still you will need will power. You may consult a physician or deaddiction therapist or a rehabilitation facility for further advice. You can also opt for online deaddiction therapy. Take care.
