The shortness of breath could very well be due to a condition called exercised induced asthma. This often times causes chest pain after any type of exercise or stress. The dizziness may be due to a decrease in blood pressure upon rising from a lying position. I would suggest trying to get him to a pulmonary specialist. Just curious, why no insurance now?
