Hello Sir, I understand the situation. There are two basic reasons for shortness of breath. First is Moderate LV dysfunction, which basically means reduced pumping of the heart. Solution for this is to have minimum intake of liquids and fluids so dat heart can pump effectively . Daily liquid intake around 1.5l will help. Plus u need to consult a cardiologist who can stratify your medications. He needs proper diuretics so dat extra fluid can be taken out via urine. Second reason is lungs. Because of fluid overload. He is having multiple issues like diabetes, heart disease - post CABG status, hypothyroidism and others so weakness is a part and parcel of that. Just give him good diet that's all we can plan. Consult a good physician and cardiologist locally.
