COPD, Shortness Of Breath, Increasing Heart Beat, Fluctuating BP. Hospitalized For Trigeminy In Past. Suggestions?

My husband has COPD and has also been hospitalized for trigeminy in the past. He has been very short of breath in the past couple of days and has noticed his heart adding the beats again. He has been sleeping most of the day today and his blood pressure has been fluctuating, ex. 126/59 then 118/65 PR is from 50 to115. Should he seek medical attention?

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Yes...
He should see the doctor as soon as possible...
‘Short of breath’ may mean pneumonia, pleural effusion, heart failure and so on – he needs examination / investigation (ECG, X-ray chest)and so on...

Take care     
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
