thanks for asking your question
i completely understand your problem
actually u already have angina for which you take nitro
if you have a smoking history . then u need to see a pulmonologist who can guide you . he may perform some small tests if important and if needed he ll start you on some inhaled drugs that works best in cases of breathlessness that is caused by copd , a disease caused by smoking.
in inhaled drygs according yo the stage pulmonologist will start you on inhaled beta 2 agonists and steroids or a simple anticholinergic named tiitropium or both
this is the best treatment now a days according to global initiative for obstructive lung diseases like copd
this inhaled drug treatment will be safest also according to your heart issues
thanks/ regards
