Hi
Even thouh you may have pumonary hypertension, there is nothing special that can be done apart from medical management at this age.
If the doctor has asked you for pulmonary exercises, then it can be either collapse or consolidation or some lung infection, which is gradually healing
Your symptoms of giddiness, shortness of breath, easy fatiguebility are both cardio-pulmonary interrelated.
Taking an opinion from pulmonologist is for your self satisfaction, you can go ahead with that.
Extreme bradycardia can also cause these symptoms, due to inadequate circulation of the blood.
All the best
Take care
