Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are active smoker, we should search for lung causes (bronchitis) for your breathlessness.
So consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. PFT (pulmonary function test).
PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
You should quit smoking as soon as possible. You will need inhaled bronchodilator (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Strict control of hypertension is also needed. So take your antihypertensive drugs regularly and follow salt restricted diet.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
