Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

     In this situation, breathlessness and tiredness are sure signs of left heart failure – unless proved otherwise. Side effects of drugs like low sodium or potassium (from water pills) / stomach upset (from aspirin) and so on need to be considered.
     He should be seen by his cardiologist. He will need examination and investigation (Lab & ECHO)

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
