Hello,
At the age of 65, history of short breath causing difficulties in day to day work and night sweats indicates left ventricular failure most likely. An EKG, X-ray chest with 2D echo of heart including valvular, chamber functioning are mandatory to proceed for the final diagnosis and management guidelines.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
