Breathlessness is symptom and be due many conditions besides cardiopulmonary disease. Copd can lead to breathlessness that is your symptom. Spirometry, echo,tmt you need to perform besides usual blood investigation. There is strong possibility of pulmonary hypertension and ischemic heart disease in your case. Also engage your self in pulmonary rehabilitation to increase your exercise capacity and quality of life. Best wishes.

Dear mrbhojawani, the underlying disease may not be controlled adequately. Get a complete pft dlco, 6mwt, abg, hrct thorax also avoid exposure to indoor and outdoor pollution. Mosquito coils/ incense sticks etc. Take a second opinion before these tests warm regards.
