In view of your history of smoking, the breathlessness could be most likely related to heart disease or lung disease. As heart disease can be life threatening, first meet a cardiologist and get appropriate investigations done as advised by him to rule out a heart problem. If they are all negative, approach a chest physician for any lung related issue. Thanks. Hope this helps.
