Hello,
Thank you for your query.
The complaint stright forward suggests as a classical case of decrease in heart function.
This is not a disease but can be result of many cardiac disorders. The breathlessness on lying down is called as orthopnea. The patient needs immediated medical care.
Without doing late you should take him to a cardiologist.
Hope my talked you.
