Piercing pain

For about two weeks now, I've been having these random encounters with 'heartburn like' pains. At first I thought nothing of it. I'd assume it'll go away just like every ailment I've had. Unfortunately it hasn't gone away and I'm getting sort of worried. I don't really have any money to get myself checked out so I decided 2 days ago to stop smoking. I haven't smoked since. I thought at first it wouldn't work since I still felt the piercing pain every now and then (it's actually really frequent, around 5 to 8 times a day) but now, it's a full day without feeling that pain.

Quitting wasn't and still isn't a problem for me. It's just that the thought of smoking having negative effects on my body doesn't really go on the top of my list of worries. I might smoke again when I feel comfortable with how long I have not felt the pain, and I might not.

Then again, I'd have less expenses if I quit smoking :D
