Hi,
This symptom should not be neglected. You should take him to the ER for detailed chest examination.
He should get investigated with EKG and chest X-ray for primary work up. If needed spirometry also should be done.
Based on these symptoms no single diagnosis can be given. Some respiratory or cardiac cause should be evaluated through above-mentioned investigations.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
