[|AI|]  Hello and welcome in Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. So as you explain your mother-in-law has breathlessness and according to the history in my opinion she should do some examinations especially for the lungs and the heart problems as follows:Chest X RayEKGTroponin, CK-MBCardiac ultrasoundSpirometry with b/dilatatorsIn my opinion it might be a lung disease called COPD and the test of Spirometry will be diagnostic, or it might be a cardiac problem in addition to it. The treatment of COPD is based in the stage of diseases and for the cardiac problems will be the cardiologist that will guide you further. I wish you good healthThank you Chat Doctor.
