Hello,

Thanks for writing to HealthCareMagic, I am Dr Muhammd Ahmad, I have closely read your question and I understand your concerns, I will hereby guide you regarding your health related problem.

It seems his doctor thought he was in heart failure thats why he has orthopnea and diuretics were given I would suggest you to get him a checkup with cardiologist so that his heart can be evaluated and if there is any problem it can be corrected according or managed accordingly.



I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask,otherwise close the discussion and rate it.

Regards.
