Hello
Thanks for your query.
You may have adult onset asthma, COPD or anxiety disorders along with some heart problems espcially ischemic heart disease. You need to consult a pulmonologist soon and go for the following investigations urgently -
1. Chest X-ray PA view
2. ECG in all leads or stress test if needed
3. Fasting blood sugar, Post-prandial blood sugar and lipid profile
4. Spirometry with bronchodialator reversibility
I think with these tests you will get an answer to your problems.
Thank you
