Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The blisters have a wide range of reasons – from simple to serious....even drugs may be responsible / unlikely to have direct relation to the heart itself...
If they are worsening in number and/or size, he should go to Emergency; else he could wait till the next day...
He needs examination for a definite diagnosis and appropriate management
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
