The breasts seem to be getting bigger and more tender. He is 74 years old. He is on several medications, mainly for Atrial Fibrillation. What could be causing this condition?

Hi and thank you.
It 's sseems clear that your husband has gynecomastia.
One of the principal causes of this are the medication such as spironalactone.
Talk with your doctor he will probably know what to do.
