Hello
Welcome to HCM. Thanks for posting your query. I understand your concerns. As your dad is having both cardiac and respiratory disease, he is a very high risk patient.
You need to look after him very carefully. He needs to take all the prescribed medications regularly.
If any super added infection occurs, you need to take him immediately to the hospital.
Hope this helps you.
Thank you
