Brief Answer:
Get done PFT.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you were chain smoker, possibility of bronchitis is more.
And bronchitis can cause similar symptoms.
So get done PFT first and if it shows obstructive defect then you will need inhaled treatment.
So consult pulmonologist and get done PFT.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
