Hi,
Breathing difficulty could be related to both lung and heart disease.
As you are Diabetic, smoker and overweight, both could be related.
I will recommend seeing your doctor soon.
Till then I will advise you to get an ECG, 2D Echo and a Chest X-Ray done for further evaluation and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Sameer Maheshwari,
