Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your description, if heart problem is not causing breathing difficulty then possible reason could be lung pathology.
Does it occurs in lying down position?
Are you having addiction of tobacco in any form?
You have to undergo pulmonary function test, so consult pulmonary medicine specialist.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards.
Dr. Hiren
