Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since your husband is heavy smoker, we should definitely rule out heart and lung diseases for his breathlessness.
So get done ecg, 2d echo, stress test (trade mill test) for heart diseases.
Get done chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) for lung diseases.
In any case, smoking cessation should be done as early as possible.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
