Brief Answer:
It can be many things put together

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

Your father`s BMI could not be calculated since I do not know his height. But his weight high and he must be obese, no matter what his height is.

Obesity is known to lower the stamina. That is definitely there.

Obesity also puts one at risk for many conditions including heart conditions. Thus tests are needed to rule out heart conditions.

The tablet prolomet xl is metoprolol and is also known to cause weakness as a side effect.
If your fathers lipid levels are controlled, you may ask your doctor to discontinue indetel d and rosuva-f.
Deplett is used to prevent blood clot formation inside blood vessels in case of recent heart attacks or stroke or other thromboembolic conditions. Does he have a previous history of any of these conditions

Hope it helps
