Hello,
Shortness of breath your father is experiencing is due to Cardiac problem & lung infection. Your father is suggested to get clinically examined, get all blood & imaging tests done. Get treated for the heart issues & lung infection at the earliest. Since he is weak, he should get admitted in a hospital & treated so that medical aid can be given urgently & recovery can be faster.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
