hi
There are various possibilities depends on onset is acute or chronic if it's slow to develop and associated with wheeze chest tightness and increasing symptoms on walking then as mentioned above it could be COPD .you can consult a general physician prior to consulting pulmonologist so he can arrange basic investigations and work up before you could be referred to appropriate specialist.
