Brief Answer:
Do upload the reports if possible. Regards
Detailed Answer:
Hello I am Dr Mody and I would be addressing your concern.
Firstly the most common reason for the symptoms you describe may be related to three things.
1) Heart , a normal echocardiography and stress test, should be adequate to rule things out, however I have seen good physician's missing the grading of diastolic dysfunction in patients, which is important cause of breathlessness. So take a note of the same.
2) Lungs, if he was a smoker, had a job profile which required to stay near to dust, fumes, a clinical examination of the lungs and pulmonary function test should be done.
3) Generalised, because of low hemoglobin, low albumin / protein, lower vitamins particularly vitamin d/ b12, and plain supplementation of the same will help resolve the symptoms. Thyroid is an important cause, and for once it should be ruled out
Do upload the investigation done already and the doctor s opinion, so I can guide you more objectively about the further plan of action.
