Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Possible cause is COPD, especially when you are a smoker or has got a previous history of smoking. Other causes may be pulmonary embolism. Treatment can be planned based on your pulmonary function test. You might require nebulizers and bronchodilators.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
