Hello,
The symptoms you are experiencing can either be due to cardiac problems like coronary artery disease or lung issues like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ). Electrocardiogram (EKG), chest x-ray and pulmonary function test required as an initial evaluation. Please be advised to follow up with your primary care provider for necessary evaluation
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
