Hi..Regards..
As you said, ur husband is smoker and having shortness of breath and chest pain , he might be suffering from COPD..a disease due to smoking or he might be having some cardiac (heart ) problem..so he must get done his X-ray Chest, ECG and spirometry tests...After only these tests, the cause can be found and treatment can be given accordingly...
