Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Good evening, My father is 80 years old and a 2 pack (could be more) a day smoker. He doesn't seem to have any health issues- he would never say if he wasn't feeling well. He tells me he never wants to go to the hospital until after he drops dead....stubborn and I guess a little scared. He states that his legs hurt after walking a short distance or walking up the stairs. I sometimes can hear a wheezing sound coming from him when I am sitting on the sofa watching TV with him. He also often takes many naps throughout the day and night. Could he be showing signs of COPD of CHF?
