  To all readers,
  
  first of all i would like to thank you guys for reading this. A good friend of mine who was an ex-smoker(quitted already) and used to drink alot on the past(now cut down alot already). So at times, he will experience needle- like pain at the heart area, sometimes got diffculties in breathing. So i would like to know if any of you have actually experience this before? so is there any remedies or cures for this problem of my friend?

  Seek a doctor's help.
  
  Pardon me for my poor biology knowledge.
  
  I think he is suffering from heart blockage..
  
  Your friend may want to refer to this to knowledge more about heart blockage.

  If it's shortness of breath, it may be the lungs and not the heart.
  
  A potential complication would be stroke.
  
  I suggest he waste no time now and seek medicial help immediately, even if it is for a peace of mind. You won't want a situation where his heart gets clog and he start to panic.
  
  Cheers

  As most have already suggested, get your friend to see a doctor and get the appropriate test done. There's really no definite way to tell what's really behind these symptoms without the appropriate test?

  If he has been a smoker for many years, it's better to go for a check up asap.
  
  The chest pain could be due to blockages in his blood vessels. In minor cases, this could result in difficulty in breathing and slight discomfort in the chest area. In the severe cases, this could result in an heart attack.
  
  Advise him to visit his family doctor and let the doctor refer him to the hospital for a check up.
