Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The same lifestyle habits that can help treat coronary artery disease can also help prevent shortness of breath. Leading a healthy lifestyle can help keep your lungs clear. To improve your heart and lung health, you need to:

1. Quit smoking in case you smoke
2. Avoid all forms of dust and smoke
3. Control conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes.
4. Stay physically active
5. Eat a low-fat, low-salt diet that's rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains
6. Maintain a healthy weight
7. Reduce and manage stress
8. Take your medications regularly without fail.

It is mainly the lifestyle changes that will help you.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
