Hi drektapandey
before I could comment I would have known about cough, its intensity, colour of sputum....any wheezing sound from the chest, whether chest pain increases on exertion or taking deep breath, coughing etc
Get a chest xray done to rule out any pneumonia, pleural effusion etc. Ecg to rule out cardiac problem. sputum ( for AFB, culture and sensitivity).
you can get to me with your detailed symptomatology
best wishes
