Dear Mrs,
It seems your husband developed heart failure.
First of all he should drink less liquids, consume less salt. She should mandatory lose weight and quit smoking.
If he doesn't take heart failure medications I would advise you to see your doctor and discuss his treatment
Hope this help
Wishing A good health to your husband
