What Causes Heavy Breathing And Shortness Of Breath?

My boyfriend has a few symptoms I want to ask you about. He is 48 yrs old 5 11 approx 200lbs. He has beat kidney cancer and only has one kidney. His current issues is that he breathes real loud and the last week is really short of breath. He is a very active guy and never had probs breathing before. He also has 2 or 3 large bulges or lumps on back of his neck. He also here had heartburn and extremely bad headaches. His arms and hands are numb. His hands feel burning. He is extra food lately. So should I take him to hospital?

Hello,

Yes, maybe he has cancer metastasis again or fluid in the lungs or any other diseases of lungs but if he has breathing problem then maybe he needs oxygen / BiPAP.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
