Sir , breathlessness on exertion with a history of angina is a strong indication of underlying heart disease particularly in your case after ruling out other common causes like decreased hemoglobin and other common condition .
A treadmill stress test will help you evaluate the same .
Normal exho and ecg doesn't rule out an underlying heart condition as they are taken at rest.
Hoping I could help .
