Dear sir
As I analysed your symptoms, it is clearly indicating that there is some coronary artery blocks which is very important for evaluation.
Breathlessness on exertion or shortness of breathness is very significant symptom, Increased physical activity or walking causes increased oxygen demand in the heart, which aggravates the present blocks in the coronary circulation.
so i recommend you to undergo a TMT examination and Angiogram of the coronary arteries so that if needed angioplasty can be done.
Thanks
